Patrick Cooper Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I looked up Film Plus in the Australian White Pages online and the closest matches I could find were Film Australia and Film Crew Victoria etc. Last time I searched for this business over two years ago on the same website, their name and details came up. Are they actually still in business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Cooper Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) Thankyou! They stopped processing reversal? Damn, Ive just finished off some 16mm Tri-X. Edited November 3, 2006 by Patrick Cooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Luke Prendergast Posted November 3, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted November 3, 2006 They might still do B+W reversal, but not VNF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cooper Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Yea, I knew they not only stopped VNF processing but they threw their VNF machine out. I had one 16mm Ektachrome 7240 film developed by them a few years ago. Odd that they don't splice leaders onto the films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Sargenius Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I looked up Film Plus in the Australian White Pages Are they actually still in business? I haven't had any film go through there for quite a few years but I do know this - it's literally a garage setup, as in they operate out of their own garage. Curious to know what your experiences have been like? cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cooper Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Overall, the quality of their processing has been quite good - for both super 8 and 16mm. For 16mm, Ive had one Tri-X film and one Ektachrome 7240 film developed by them. And Ive also seen well over 40 Tri-X and Plus-X super 8 films screened at the Adelaide Fringe festival which were all developed by Film Plus. Though it would be nice if they spliced some film leader to the films they process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experiences have been far more mixed - processing itself not too bad but turnaround times rather on the erratic side, though I guess beggars can't really be choosers, eh? :) Kim Sargenius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cooper Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Turn around times being erratic, eh? I'm still waiting for my latest Tri-X to come back. By the way, this Tri-X and the last Tri-X film I had developed by them are at least 15 years out of date. The previous one turned out mostly fine. So I'm guessing the current one should should be just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
