8mm and 16mm Processing
Reversal Processing
Our reversal processing standards are excellent. We have been lovingly hand processing all sorts of colour and B&W reversal film since 2011 and have never lost a film. We process all colour reversal film in E-6 chemistry and we process all B&W reversal film in D-19 chemistry. If you're not sure whether your film is E-6 or D-19 compatible please don't hesitate to drop us a message and we can advise.
Negative Processing
We began processing negative film in 2014 and we are extremely happy with both our colour and B&W hand processing standards. The inherent difficulty with hand processing negative film is getting a clean, even image. Negative film was never meant to be hand processed so expect results that vary from perfect to some marks and unevenness. With every batch we try new techniques to improve our negative processing. We're getting very close to achieving perfection consistently but if you need pristine results every time you might want to wait until we've worked out all the hand processing kinks. All colour negative film is processed in ECN-2 chemistry and all B&W negative is processed in Xtol chemistry. If you're not sure whether your film is ECN-2 or Xtol compatible please drop us a message so we can advise.
Push & Pull Processing
We process six customers films per tank. Unfortunately this generally means we cannot push or pull a single film to increase or decrease its exposure.
Processing Old Film
We do not process old film stocks like Kodachrome or Moviechrome. The reason we don't develop old stock is simply because they are long dead and not likely to make a comeback. As a culture we need to invest in and support current film stocks and chemistry. We believe the best way to do this is by selling and processing contemporary film. The chemistry modern film uses is also much better for the environment.
Sending Film to Andec
We send all 16mm film to Andec for machine processing. We also send some 8mm negative film to Andec for processing during busy periods as we can only hand process 60 films every three weeks in accordance with our schedule.
