B&W film (not c41) processing
-
I have 4 rolls of b&w film that I need processed, I went to the local camera shop and they said they can’t process it because it’s not c41, it has to be hand processed. Does anybody know where I can get these rolls developed?
I’m sure there are a few labs in Dublin that can do it, but if you are happy to post, you could send them to Hetty Walsh of Hetty’s Darkroom in Kinsale, Cork. http://www.hettysdarkroom.com/
Hi Jonny
John Gunns on Wexford street will process your film, Conns will look after you too, of course the best thing to do is look after it yourself, I had some dealings years ago with hetty and couldn’t fault her work.
Thanks for the advice everyone, I’ll have to make a trip into Dublin and go to conns and gunns.
By the way Jonny, processing them yourself is very very simple.
If ever you need to know, just ask :)Thanks Mark, but I need them on a disk and I don’t have a scanner or processing equipment. I might have a few Q’s for you when I get enough money together for my darkroom/shed.
don’t bother with conn’s as all they will do is send it to hetty…!!!
Hetty is one of the last true craft printers left… anytime I have sent in stuff for develop or print she has exceeded expectations…
last print I had made had a lovely moody sky over water and she did three different prints in 16 x 24 with different combinations of dodge and burn… I was charged for one!! Can’t rate her highly enough… She has all the skills that we now have to master in photoshop when shooting digital, in order to get the same end result as we did with film. Something people often forget is the amount of behind the scenes input a great printer used to make, often without the photographer knowing it… the only digital printers I have encountered with the same ethic is inspirational arts….
