Downsides to positive/negative films
So I've read quite a bit of the links about x-pro here and have some questions. I don't know if I'm right but there'll be downsides to using positive/negative films. Like positive films are better to x-pro but more expensive to develop normally and vice versa for negative films. I've read somewhere that it is more costly to print photos from slide films, otherwise they'll give you little slides. Or they don't even print photos from slide films, so is it true? Most labs that do x-pro do not x-pro negatives in E-6? And lastly, when you cross process a slide film in C-41, does the x-pro affect the way the photo will be printed/developed? Sorry if this seems silly. :P

i dont think anywhere in singapore xprocess e6 negs. and printing shd be the same as the slide film, unless the lab uses cheap print chemicals.

yeah. i dont think anyone does cross for negs. printing should be same price. cos its a digital print. they print from the jpeg scans.

shalom colors at bras basah used to do it. but they are very~ very~ very exp if you wanna scan. develop with them if they are still doing it. then go elsewhere to scan.
