Title: 35mm photo processing in Tulsa?
Post by: MichaelBates on August 12, 2009, 12:02:33 PM
I found some rolls of 35mm color film that we never got developed. I know that fewer and fewer places handle 35mm. I'd like to get prints and a CD copy of the images. Any recommendations?

Walgreens can do both. I'm fairly sure Apertures can do it, too.

Apertures is the best, if you are looking for quality.  Walgreens will do it for less & quicker.  There are a few other places, but I prefer Apertures.

Thanks. I opted for Apertures. I'll let you know how they turned out.

Old, exposed film can develop some strange colors if it's stored at room temperature.  I keep mine in the refrigerator, and I know there are a couple of rolls in there that are very, very old.  I think some of it is even 120 roll film.  I should get it down to Apertures too.

I've seen that happen, too. I'm just going to have to hope for the best.

Like that's a bad thing.

It's an older, some would say 'analog' type of media that has higher bit rates and resolution than your digital still camera, particularly when you go to the 2 1/4 by 2 1/4 inch (6x6 cm) formats or the even larger 4x5 or 8x10.  The trouble comes in when you try to do something like this with film:

It can be done, but it's a whole lot easier in Photoshop.  I gots to learn more about it.
