35mm movie developing

[Repeat]

Have any of you guys dabbled with 35mm/16mm developing?

How were the costs, and what lengths do you typically have to develop?

Dabbled? lol. I always shoot film, never dabbled in video, different labs have different prices, but you can expect to pay (depending on lab):

13 - 24 cents per ft. processing
4 cents per foot to prep for video (for video dailies)
18 - 24 cents per foot to transfer to video (for video dailies)
18 cents per foot for a work print, one light.

then answer prints, and so on, depending on how you are finishing, etc ... check your local lab

Sorry, bit more clear:

home-processing.

Any people tried this?

I would only trust a lab. Even if it was S8mm. Good luck in your quest.

I would say STOP NOW! PUT DOWN THE FILM, AND WALK AWAY FROM THE HOMEMADE PROCESSING LAB IN YOUR BATHTUB

Seriously, processing is not something you want to "dabble" with. You want to trust someone who's been in the business for many years, and has the proper facility. It's not something you can do at home (or would EVER want to).

Answer: Lab

Go with a lab if you want perfect results ... but if you're open to possibly bad results while learning a lot more about being self reliant in an industry that rewards that, then do it at home.

Nice one, Poke-wow.

That's exactly how I work, designing my own way.

Many thanks

- take the other points on board, but I've yet to see great results made by taking the film to the lab of vice-versa. It's all fun. Ta -
