Greetings Everyone
It’s now July which means its Hot outside, Yesterday reached 104 degrees around Philadelphia PA where we are located. Our tap water is over 80 degrees after running for 5 minutes. Most film such as C-41, ECN-2 and E6 have no issues with the heat. However Black and White and any film made before 1995 which we also develop in black and white we stopped developing until the outside Temperature averages below 85 degrees which should provide tap water under 74 degrees.

However until around October All old film such as C-22, E4 and other film made before 1975 will have very long wait times until our tap water drops below 68 degrees which last year was mid October. It could take up to another months to clear the back log.

This notice does not apply to anyone shooting fresh color C-41 film, our Seattle Film Works Customers or the ECN-2 Cinema Film we develop in 35mm or 120. It Also does not apply to anyone getting color film developed made after 1995.

Also we are going on our annual road trip vacation on August 7th.
Our last day for developing is Tuesday Aug 4th for color film. The last day for ECN-2 or E6 is July 31st, We expect B&W to have delays all summer. We have someone to collect all incoming orders while we are away. We encourage orders to be placed while we are away and shipped to us. We expect to return by the evening of August 17th and start developing C-41 August 18th. This will be followed by ECN-2, Expired C-41, Seattle Filmworks and Black and white as the temperature permits.

THANK YOU EVERYONE, We really appreciate your business!!
Keep Shooting Film.
