Reasonable price for developing and scans

Hi Everyone, |

$13 seems normal (which is not to say "reasonable"). The Darkroom starts at $13. (If it's 110, or cross-processed, or pushed, etc., they tack on a buck or two for each.) |

Check what's available in your local area. Where I live in the UK there's a gallery which has developing, scanning and darkroom printing facilities in back, it runs classes and you can join as a member, annual fee, and pay to use the facilities. It's £2 per roll of b&w 35mm, £3 per roll of 120 b&w to develop, they have the Paterson tanks and dev/stop/fix on site. There's also a Jobo colour film developer and they make up the C41/E6 chems to order. |

I had my 120 film developed and scanned and was told I was rung up wrong when i dropped off. So it ended up being $6.99 for developing and scans for 120 film ( i had 8 good exposures) was $1.99 ea. So all together just under $25. I am now using the darkroom for $11. Ironically the high end scans i paid $1.99 for are the same size ones listed on darkroom as standard, I think 1024 x1024 good up to 5x7. Darkroom did recommend to me the enhanced scans for extra $5 good up to 11x14 pics for 120 film. I just sent them some 35mm Portra400 for $11 plus return postage ($3.75)

$13 sounds about the norm. Any cheaper and I think you're getting a deal (from what I've seen).

TheDarkroom is about $17 including shipping to process and scan (standard) a roll of 35mm film. Options take it up from there. You also need to pay to ship it to them as well. |

Here in Tbilisi, Georgia I pay about 1$ for developing and 5 cents for scannig per image and I don't think it's too cheap. The main expense is fim, which I have to buy on ebay or BH

but the quality of scans is not very high. I can pay extra, up to 1$ per image for high quality scans... but... I don't wanna. Will be better to save money for my own scanner
