Mike Tounian Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hi Friends, This forum has always been quick and great with responses so I figured I would get some more input regarding labs. We're looking to shoot a feature exclusively in Detroit, and apparently MI has no lab left. I imagine there are a few factors involved in the choice of a lab, like quality, price, distance, etc. and I would love to hear everyone's feelings or experiences with all of them. We want to shoot 16mm, but don't want to close the door on 35mm so a lab that does both would be ideal. There is at least one in Toronto, which seems to be the closest, but that crosses a border and I imagine there is some radiation scanning or customs issues involved there that could be a danger. I know there was a lab in Pennsylvania but I can't find anything on it. Clearly Kodak's lab finder site/app hasn't been updated as most of the websites listed are now dead. Would greatly appreciate everyone's opinions/experiences on this one. Thank you!Mike Tounian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted September 13, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted September 13, 2013 Cinelab is a good lab. Whenever I've had a project back on the east coast I've either used them, NFL Films in NJ (for processing only really) or Colorlab, but of the three Cinelab has been my favorite.

Chris Burke Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Cinelab all the way. They rock, especially with 16mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonny Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hopefully, we can all keep Cinelab going. Just got this DEPRESSING news from Alpha Cine: From Jean Fee, Alpha Cine: Hi, We are sorry to announce that Alpha Cine will no longer process or print motion picture film after the end of September.
