16mm Services Are Go!

After calling around trying to get some 16mm reversal processed it became immediately apparent that nobody is really doing it anymore. Well not in the UK anyway. All labs I tried to contact either didn't pick up the phone, didn't message back or if they did message back required a minimum order of at least 1000ft. Basically a sorry state of affairs for people like myself who only shoot small amounts of 16mm reversal film each year.

It's for this reason I've set up an E-6 and D-19 developing service using my 5L 50ft tanks. Obviously 100ft rolls need to be split down the middle and a frame is lost in the process but it's definitely better than having no service at all! I'm also quite pleased with the results (compared to using my 16mm 100ft tank). I could never get good results with that 16mm tank and it has always put me off processing 16mm films for my customers. However I have been pleasantly surprised with processing 16mm in my 5L 50ft tanks.

I will post some videos when I have more time but for now I just wanted to give you 16mm reversal shooters a processing option. Perhaps if it goes well I might even start stocking 16mm reversal film, but perhaps I'm getting a little ahead of myself. Lets wait and see what happens.
