E-6 Slide Film Development and Scanning

BFS is the only photo lab in the Baltics offering professional E-6 slide film development. Our specialists have more than 30 years of experience with slide film, delivering the highest quality results for amateurs and professionals alike.

Film is developed with an Adel automatic processor with precise ±0.1°C temperature control, or in a Jobo manual processor for special projects. We use Tetenal chemistry and a rotary processor with a water rinse, which removes chemical residue, improves colour stability and guarantees maximum longevity.

Formats: 135 (35mm), 120 (medium format), 127, 110, 4x5" sheets. The price is per film, or per 4x5" sheet.
