Digital BW, The Print

Hello,

I will be traveling in the UK in a couple of weeks and would like to 
find a photographic supplier for large format film and C-41 
Processing.

I would like to buy my film after I arrive and have it processed 
before I leave so I can avoid any airport accidents.

Despite popular belief, the UK is fairly large.  Where will you be?

Simon,

Thanks for the subtle reminder. 

I will be in and near London. More specifically:

Buchan Hill
Pease Pottage
Crawley
West Sussex

I did some research and found that there are several Calumet 
locatoins in the London area. I can get the film I need there. More 
importantly will be finding a service to process 4x5 sheet film. In 
the past I just brought my exposed film back with me and had it 
processed when I got home. With the increased security measures in 
place in the airports I don't want to chance having exposed film 
damaged going through scanners.

Thanks for the reply.

Scott

able to help you.

they also have the cheapest Hahnemuhle paper in Europe - both as their own
rebadged PR300 and  under its own name. Also good prices on Ilford Classic
pearl if you want to try RC paper.

I can second Silverprint.  If you're coming in from Wessex, then 
Silverprint is definitely the most convenient for you.  

However, you might also like to try contacting Melvyn Cambertie-
Davies at Master Mono.  Melvyn is a well respected traditional 
darkroom printer who is also working with new technologies.  Contact 
him for a price list.  His email is mel@..., tel 
+44 207 336 7962.  The only downside is that his lab is based in East 
Lonodn at 38 Kingsland Road, E2.

I can also recommend another fine art printer called Les Mclean, who 
is based up north.  Unless you don't mind couriering the films to 
him, probably not an option.

Have you tried 7dayshop.com?  It's an outfit based in the Channel 
Islands.  They sell 100 sheets A4 for £17.95, free shipping to the UK 
(and possibly to Spain).  They get around import duties by keeping 
the value of each package they send to below £18.  If it goes above 
that, they pay the duty for you!  Customer service is great too.

Oops.  I just realised that I gave you an old phone number for Mel.  
It should be +44 207 729 7766.  If you don't mind an extra 15 minutes 
on the tube (subway) from Waterloo, then Mel is worth a go.

You could try these guys, they are very good and now that Joe's Basement is no longer trading, not a bad alternative:

http://www.sky-photographic.co.uk/

Or Tapestry at http://www.tapestry.co.uk/index.php?action=gotFlash

I've only just been catching up on the digests.  Pease Pottage is 
just off the A23 south of Crawley, Sussex (not Wessex)and due south 
of Gatwick airport and London.  Crawley is the nearest town to 
Gatwick.

You can get to Silverprint http://www.silverprint.co.uk by rail from 
Crawley or Gatwick by taking a train that goes to Victoria and stops 
at Clapham Junction.  You change there for Waterloo and walk - 5 
minutes if you know the way.  Silverprint's website has a map if I 
recall aright.  I suggest you order film in advance so that you are 
not disappointed.  Look out for their opening hours - closed 
Saturdays, which I complain about.

The nearest professional C41 lab that I know of to Pease Pottage is 
to the east of it at Edenbridge,CPL www.cpl-graphics.com Tel: ++44 
1732 860393, but I haven't used or been in contact with them in 
years.  I called to check that the company still exists and spoke to 
Ian Cobley.  He lives in Horsham, due west of Crawley and drives 
close to Pease Pottage every day.  I said why I was enquiring and he 
might, just might, pick up your film and drop it back processed, 
although he now outsources this.  If you are interested give him a 
call.  He doesn't stock film at Edenbridge but does at other branches 
of the business and might be prepared to help you out on this also.
