Well - it's official. I will now be looking at setting up my own E6 processing in house. Today was the LAST STRAW. After being re-assured by the lab that the E6 machine was running well with no problems - guess what?

This is the third time - successive - that the machine embedded crud into the film, and has put tractor marks across it. No charge for us screwing up your film sir - have a nice day.

I will post the frames regardless once I get them scanned over the next couple of days, so you can see what's happened. Nothing like getting back your film with treasured Milky Way exposures running at 110 minutes each - with lines, streaks and crud on them.

I'm not playing around with this - and will be looking for a complete Jobo system with pumps, heaters, tanks etc. Work will start on a dark room in the basement. E6 processing and B&W - hear I come.
