I recently used a pro lab in Dublin for E6 processing -

Filmbank 102 Baggot st lower in Dublin 2

They are supposedly a pro lab and do E6 in a couple of hours. I would have a couple of issues with them. Firstly, there were some scratches on several frames at the edge. I think they got there in the mounting process as they were across the film strip not along it . There were also some spots on a couple of frames. I don't like the frames they used either as they have slightly rounded corners on the inside which means when they are scanned, you have to crop if you don't want rounded corners.

Probably worst of all was the price 12.80 Euros for a 36 roll ($13.70).

So I suppose it sounds like I am not recommending them but I would use them again if I was in a hurry.

On making enquiries, another lab recommended the following to me:

Grants Photo Lab on upper Baggot Street in
Dublin 2

I haven't tried them yet and don't know their pricing but I suspect it would be high also. If you would like to know for sure I could give them a call.

I would also endorse 7dayshop for sourcing film, they are my favoured supplier. If you take a look at their website you will see they have links to a subsidiary or affiliate that does E6 processing at a lower cost than you will probably find in Pro labs in Dublin. I will probably give them a try for my next roll.

Allow at least a week from ordering to delivery with 7dayshop.

Does anyone know of a good pro-lab in Dublin and in London (central part of city) that can do E-6 processing in a timely manner? Dublin is my last stop in Ireland and London the last stop in England


There are a number of labs in Houston that which process and mount my E-6 in a matter of a few hours so I am assuming I am not just spoiled by that level of service.
