Found a reference to this place somewhere

http://www.photos2you.co.uk/info_prices.asp

Looks like you can get 120 and 35mm colour film (e6 and c41) processed for 1.50 GBP

Though with VAT and postage the price per film for getting five rolls processed the roll price rises to 2.92 GBP

Is that a good deal?  Has anyone used these guys?

Cheers,


Chops

I haven't used them but it sounds a good price.

I have a local fuji lab and pay
2 gbp per C41
3 gbp per b/w and
4 gbp per E6

he does the colour in an hour...long enough for me to get a cuppa and the rest overnight.
i think i'm lucky :)

No matter the quality, at prices like that they definitely would get my attention...

It really worths whenyou order over 3 films.
I usually pay gbp 6.00 for processing at Metro Imaging, but the quality is really good. With photos2you it will cost gbp4.80.
Now... last time I paid for 3 films at metro gbp18.63... Now if I'm not wrong , ordering with photos2you will cost gbp11.16 !

Chops, not used this lot, but the prices alone say they're worth a try. Bonusprint have recently hiked their prices so once my last few envelopes w/ the old prices on are used up I'll be looking around. Lemme know how you get on w/ Photos2you. Am keen to find a new cheapo service.

Hmm I don't like scanning film or buying scans from other people so I tend to get prints and scan those and their dev&print prices aren't as good as Spectrum Imaging (http://www.spectrumimaging.co.uk/)'s for 120.

Various threads on flickr about them

I had an inkling that I had heard of them before especially as the price list linked still has their old name (Genie)

All I hope is that the service is faster than my favorite lab who now outsources everything film to a central location. Yesterday I talked to the manager and he told me that his last batch of 72 hour process actually took 4 weeks to return... the package was lost by Purolator... very reassuring   :(
