I was wondering if there are any X-Pan users based in the UK/London on
the list? I'm looking for a good lab that will process film for me, my
current one has just returned film to me that they processed as standard
135 despite counter instruction to the contrary and destroyed what
looked like some good work. I'm going to scan and stitch the frames but
was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for an application that
will handle this well?


Recommendations for a good lab in London or one that does mail service
would also be gratefully received.
Hi Alex. Try Genesis on 020 7731 2227. Ask for Ken Sethi who is the MD. They are very accommodating and they care. Mention my name - watch out for the laughter. I've had my Xpan done there. For a lab to do what they did means they must have auto mounted it as 35mm standard without even a cursory glance. In fact it's hard to see how they did it without seeing it. I scan mine in two overlapping parts in a 35mm film scanner and stitch them together in Photoshop but presumably you don't have the luxury of the overlap. I think your still best off in Photoshop because a hard edge like that is going to take some work.
Best of luck. Patrick.
