15 years ago, when I was 15 years old, I spent a week at a professional studio photographers.
One day he took me to a development lab in Lincoln, here in the UK. I cannot remember it's name (maybe it's still there?), but he took me round and I actually saw one of his portraits being worked on by a member of staff.
But I don't actually know what a lab like that is called, and in what context they are used? I use 35mm Jessops film mostly, and I buy some Fujifilm for better expeditions, and I then post it all off to the Jessops labs in Hinkley, Leicester, UK and it comes back about a week later.
But I am curious - if I were to ever become a pro photographer, where would I send my film to be processed? Presumebly, only medium or large format is used by pro's on the whole (by those who are not 100% digital), so I guess they have to use special labs as opposed to places like Jessops?
Can anyone recommend such a lab here in the UK, ideally in the Midlands (I live in Derby, Derbyshire).
Cheers
Ted
