    Slide film Developing?

    I am trying my first roll of slide film. Where do you think is the best place to get it developed?

    I'd recommend that you look through your local "yellow pages" for a professional photo lab that does E-6 processing.
    A good lab can have it back to you in a day.
    Good Luck!

    Hi Greg,

    I wouldn't be afraid to send film out via mail to a reputable E-6 processor if you start shooting a lot of slide film. Places like Calypso, Inc. (www.calypsoinc.com) will send the processed film back for free if it's over a certain amount.

    For one off rolls, then places Wolf Camera will send it out to a processor. Look around for local pro shops and see if they do handle processing. Mostly they will send it out, but it will most likely go to the best E-6 processor around.

    Thanks. If I like E-6 I may start using it more.

    Hey Greg...I'm pretty sure Clyde Colliers will develop E6, if they don't I know they ship it out somewhere. Thats the only place in our area that I think could handle E6.
