    WOLF CAMERA SUCKS!! Photogs .. who processes your film??

    I just dropped off two B&W rolls (T-Max) at Wolf Camera and they call me 20 min later to tell me that they processed them with the color chemicals and ruined them. I'm sooo pissed because anybody who knows the main two types of NOTHING alike .. these pics were of one of my best friend's wedding, and are irreplaceable .. I didnt even bring my digital because I wanted to use my SLR.

    UGH .. anyways .. I always though Wolf was the best place to develop my prints, I'm not sure I can trust them again. Anybody have another option? (Besides a buying DigitalSLR, I am saving up for one... )

          Is there any image recoverable from the negs? I seem to recall about people deliberately "cross processing" to come up with some unusual effects...

              BTW since moving away from standard consumer negative film I only go to a professional lab. It costs more, but it's worth it.

                      Cross processing is usually color film ( normally processed c-41) and color slide processing .. basically forces a negitive image (film) with postitive producing chemicals .. or vice versa .. it creates awesome colors .. but wouldnt work in my case .. developing the b&w with c-41 totally destroyed it ..

                              The expense is worth it for a special occasion like a wedding ...

                                  Damn, that's gotta suck.

                                  Are they offering you any compensation? (Besides two replacement rolls )

                                      Not really .. 2 rolls and processing of those two rolls ..

                                      The receipt they gave me when I dropped them off stated that was all I'm entitled to. I dont know what else to do

                                                  Damn that really sucks bad.

                                                  Wolf is supposed to be one of the better places to go.

                                                  Fucking stupid tech should be fired.

                                                      Yeah, I think it should be taken further. It wasn't accidental damage, rather pure stupidity.

                                                          Thanks Boneprone .. I know the guy deserves to lose his job .. but I know he would never do it again, I could tell he was honestly sorry when I started sobbing on the phone .. Everybody deserves a 2nd chance ..


                                                          I'm going to talk to the manager when I go back tonight .. but there isnt anything they can offer me that would make up for this.

Florida. Check for the places that still process E6 (slide film). They'll handle your film like it's there own.

                                                                  For B&W, you can process it yourself as well. It's not very hard and the chemicals are pretty cheap.

                                                                                          If you lived close to south beach i would tell u to come down and have dinner with me... errrrr.. i mean come down to the labs down here, as they are pretty good too and not that more expensive than wolf.

I'm sooo pissed because anybody who knows the main two types of NOTHING alike .. these pics were of one of my best friend's wedding, and are irreplaceable .. I didnt even bring my digital because I wanted to use my SLR.

I always though Wolf was the best place to develop my prints, I'm not sure I can trust them again. Anybody have another option? (Besides a buying DigitalSLR, I am saving up for one... )
