I have two questions, the first is sort of a poll of much interest, and the second is a personal desperation...
1. What do you prefer for 35mm film?
I mostly shoot ISO400 negative. I've also noted that many professionals use very low speed positive, even stopping it down for deeper color saturation and asking their lab to compensate. Coupled with a heavy telephoto with its reduced light-gathering ability, I can hardly imagine that. It seems like a physical impossibility, for shooting birds.
2. Where do you process your 35mm film?
There are no labs here in Scottsdale, Arizona. The only two labs within the greater metropolitan Phoenix area, within driving range, have been extremely disappointing. I'd like to start mailing out my canisters to a good processor (I've heard of a reputable one in New York). If you mail your work, I'd like to know your opinion on quality and service. Specific recommendations, maybe website url too, would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
roadrunner
