Processing film

[Spie]

Now my RB67 is back from its refurbishment I'm keen to buy a reasonable quantity of roll film so that I can hopefully use it for years to come. There's a surprising amount of roll film out there - colour and b&w negative along with a fair bit of transparency such as Fuji Velvia.

Good news so far, but what about processing? Not bothered about printing as I have a Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED so I'll do my own, but is quality developing still available?

Can you develop roll film yourself at home? Darkroom and chemicals

Peak Imaging I sent 12 rolls of Velvia 120 to them on the tuesday (Also shot through an RB coincidentally), had them back in sleeves on the thursday. 'Nuff said.

Did all that years ago. Never again!

You can do B&W processing relatively easily and safely at home but I don't know anyone who does colour, the chemicals are a lot more toxic unless you buy one of those Fuji Machines, but then again whats the point.....might as well just go into any shop and get it printed.

If your not going to try it yourself then peak imaging have already been mentioned but I have also used before Transpacolor and One Vision or if you have a photog shop local may be worth popping in to see if then can do the negative processing?

Anyone know which is likely to give the best results via a scanner - negative or transparency film?

This might be a good read on scanning colour negative film
