Can anyone recommend a film prosessing lab for c41 film. Occasionally I have to get color film processed, but prices where I live are terrible. I pay $50 for one film at akersgata foto i Norway, I paid $200 at postfoto - 6 films. Sometimes I send film to dwayne's in USA - great price, but slow shipping. There are no cheap Costco available, have not found anyone taking mail order either.
If someone know a lab in e.g. UK or Germany? Shipping would be fair compared to my country, and relatively fast delivery. Packages from UK do not take many days to arrive.
Thanks!

I use ASDA. they charge about £8 dev & print plus CD. I can ask for an exact price if you like. Develop only is about £2 + £1 for scanned CD. The quality of develop and print is good although the CD scans are not the best they are very acceptable. OH! 35mm only! Perhaps there is a UK resident who can act as go-between and has a lab 10 minutes walk from their home...like me for example. this is a scan from a film developed at ASDA  and a crop:  |

Palmlabs looks interesting, I will give them a try. philbirch: Quality is good from ASDA scan. But, I do not want to become a pestilence sending others to do my photo errands  It could escalate - can you go to the flee market pick up an old Spotmatic also? haha |
