Best E6 lab in Dublin

    Can anyone make a recommendation for a good E6 lab in Dublin?

    I've used the Fuji place on Lower Abbey St (by the LUAS stop) but I wasn't impressed: not friendly, slow, and the scans they made for me (at e2.50 each) had hairs on them.

    Cheers.

    Repro on Merrion Sq are very professional.

    If they give you a time for collection, they'll be ready for that time. Everything is spotless, you can view your slides on a lightbox there and then.

    They're not cheap though, and staff friendliness seems to depend on the morning in question, and how likely it is you're a professional photographer.

    I'd still prefer'em to Abbey St.

    Thanks. Do you know how much (approx) they charge to process a role of 35mm or 120?

    Not exactly. Off the top of my head, I reckon you'll be handing in a tenner a roll, and something tells me it could either be two euro more or less than that.

    I rarely rarely shoot slide these days.

    I've never used repro35, but I've never had any complaints about the crowd in Abbey street. 6.50 for dev only, no mount. And you can get them the same day if you drop them in before 9am on tuesday, wednesday or friday (iirc).

    At the moment though I've had to resort to mailers (which go to the same place on abbey street) which are a little more expensive. 8.95 for dev (and maybe mount, I always specify dev + strip only). If I post them monday they make it back to me by thursday or friday.

    i wouldnt be supprised at hairs on slides for 2.50 each

    a pro scan on a pro scanner for a hi-res file will cost more like 20 to 30 euro

    considering it is a skilled job and a pro scanner costs 10K i can understand, but a lab that charges that much (2.50) has got the saturday kid doing it using a 300 euro desktop scanner
