Could someone recommend a photo studio in Adelaide to develop and scan film please?

Thanks

I have not tried them with film, but Black & White Photographics do film processing and scanning. Check out their price list and give them a call.

I used to use Black and White photography to process my film when I lived in Adelaide.

I would highly recommend them. They're prices back then were pretty reasonable for the quality compared to other places (including places interstate).

I have discussed Black and White Photo with several photographers that used them quite a bit in the past for B&W film. Apparently their service was appalling - repeatedly scratching the film and blaming the customer when it was clearly their equipment that was at fault. I understand people generally have less hassle with their more mainstream services, but I'm still wary.

Personally, I've found that Atkins are extremely professional on all levels. I've used them quite a bit and the results have always been great.

I would have said Duckpond...if the duck hadn't flown South and now resides at Atkins!

I haven't had any probs with B&W but have never used that philim stuff you speak of!

True, I would have said Duckpond too pre merge. However, I've used Atkins a lot since the merge without issue. I guess there isn't really a lot of choice around Adelaide anymore.

I hear you Xorl.......although I personally haven't had an issue, two of my friends have both had issues with scratching at B&W. They too were told that it must have been their fault.

One of the cases I heard about involved getting several films from very different cameras developed as a batch. The scratches all occurred in exactly the same spot on each film. B&W still blamed the customer and refused to accept responsibility (?!).

Edit: To be fair, I should add that this would have occurred over 2 years ago..
