Gareth Munden Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi All, I wanna shoot a test on my K-3 and would like to shoot only 100' of film ( colour or maybe B&W ) any more is a waste as it's only a test. Is there anywhere in London ( or somewhere I could post the film ) that will handle that amount of stock?. Most say they have a 500' min. Thanks everyone.

matt cooke Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Soho Images in London used to process small amounts of stock if it is for print or TK, however I am not sure if they still do. I have given them 200' in the past, which they were happy to proccess for me. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Oliver Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Why not shoot a roll of reversal, say 100ft of 100D and ship to Andec for processing. Another option is a roll of k40. Or again a roll of BW and ship to Andec. Did you require a projectional image of require the processed film on tape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Munden Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 I think on tape, so I can compare with other formats on my Mac. Soho image will process 100' . But where can I Telecine such a small amount ? Do N.O.Where Telecine 16mm colour Neg ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt cooke Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Soho Images should do a 1 light to DV or Beta for you, however, on such a small amount of stock, what you get back might be a bit rough and ready, but if the purpose is to test your camera then it should not be too much of an issue. Personally I prefer to use Todd AO in Camden, but that usually costs £250/hour for attended TK. I am not sure if they will process 100' either, but worth giving them a call. I believe that NOWhere lab only do optical prints and not TK, but I might be wrong on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Oliver Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi, can recommend Todd AO, they do a one lite transfer, not sure of minium order, think its 500ft. Speak to Nicole on 020 7284 7939.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.Where has a Video Steenbeck which they use for telecine to minDV/DVCAM for £16 for per hundred foot roll. I've had them done black/white film telecined for me, but I believe it can do colour neg, but perhaps with limited control. Remember though they are an artists lab so, so they have no intention of meeting proffesional standards, for example they won't clean the film before telecine. If its for a test though it should be okay, and they are very helpful and energetic people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leigh Spencer Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Ive used Soho Images for a couple of short test runs and ive been impressed with the quality of the process/telecine - a few weeks ago sent 3x100ft rolls of colour neg for process and one light transfer and also two rolls of k40 for telecine and it all came to £99, only took a couple of days too.
