Does Walgreens Sell Film For Regular Cameras

  1. Now that I wont utilize Walmart, my formerly usual place (because where I live they don't render negatives), I took my two 24exp 35mm holiday rolls to Walgreens and was happy to observe they still do film processing. The clerk even said in that location was a $1 off offer that week and even though I did not have the coupon, he gave it to me. I ordered i copy of each photograph plus a CD. I did not think to ask about the price, figuring information technology would be $20-$25.
    When I picked upwardly the order, the total came to $33 and that'south with the discount. It used to be about $20 at Walmart. There was no breakup on the receipt, merely the total plus tax.
    The photos came out squeamish (taken with Fujica ST705 and Zeiss lenses) but I was unimpressed with the scans. Walmart used to give two sets of scans, low-resolution previews and high-resolution full-size. Walgreens single scans came somewhere in betwixt, not pocket-size plenty for a preview merely not big enough to be called high-resolution.
    All in all I have mixed feelings, I wish there was some other alternative but I judge I should be grateful I can become films developed at all. It seems the price is going only one manner though - and that is UP.
  2. The older Walgreens here however has its machine and does develop-only for about US$5. It's more expensive than the better processing at the photographic camera store, but they are open 24 hours a solar day.
    The newer store is non open all the fourth dimension, and has no developing except for send-out.
  3. Tip:
    Don't become prints. But get the CD and pick select images for them to impress. As well a 36exp gyre costs the same as a 24 exp curl then shoot 36's. I'thou paying about $eight/ringlet this way. As well tell the manager you are a semi-pro and yous may go an additional "commercial" discount (varies with location). I get 10% off on my order. Once yous are in their system, the discount gets applied automatically. Information technology's worth asking nigh. If you shoot a lot information technology adds up.
    My approach is to have them do the processing and CD. The images can exist mail processed OK for web apply just for prints I re-scan the proficient frames myself and print myself at home.
  4. My local Walgreen still does developing. I usually get my film developed and a CD. It is a lot cheaper that way. The scans aren't that great merely I employ them for a quick wait to decide what to scan for myself.
    That seems clumsily expensive for prints. I would ask for a breakdown of the prices.
    They will toll themselves out of business organisation at those rates.
  5. The CVS near me just removed ALL of their film processing equipment. Which is a shame considering they did a nice job. My Walgreens still does it, but for the toll the film came dorsum scratched and badly printed. Uncertainty I'll be using them once again. Might just become with Procedure and CD only at Allied Photocolor.
  6. Not any help to me as we do not accept a Wallgreen'southward in our canton. However I am happy for those of you lot that have the service.
  7. My local Walgreens is doing the same task as for Russ, $4.99 develop just, pic was rolled up and put dorsum into the moving picture container, just the finger prints and scratches were lamentable. I was shooting some Ektar in a M4 using a 5cm Summicron collapsible that has some visible haze inside and was anxious to see what it could do. Hither's an case I took during hurricane Issac, aught special but male child practice the scratches really shine through. I used my cotton gloves to carefully cut the picture and sleeve it, so this is from Walgreens. The camera came with a zeiss zm 50 and those few rolls I shot with that philharmonic came out swell, so it's not the camera or my handling. Walgreens is the only local place I have, so I'yard going to try my hand with color developing with 1 of the Tetanal kits. B&W is easy enough, then I hope color can be as well.

  8. D.F. I'm pitiful to say simply that scan y'all posted made me LOL! They went to town on your negatives. I accept NEVER seen anything that bad and I accept used Walmart, Sam's Club, Walgreen's and a couple of other places. The problem with Walgreen'south, Sam'south Club, and places similar that is developing and printing is done locally. If your local store is run by clowns you will become screwed. Walmart send out service is the just inexpensive bullet proof solution I've found so far.
    When I picked up the lodge, the full came to $33 and that's with the discount. It used to be about $20 at Walmart. There was no breakdown on the receipt, just the full plus revenue enhancement.​
    Hilarious. Sam'southward society develops 36 exp roll for $ane.50 no prints. Prints and CD are reasonably priced if yous are into that kind of thing. I would personally buy a inexpensive flat bed scanner like the Epson V500 and do your own proofing at home. So I would club professional prints for only the images I really want to hang up. Seriously fifty-fifty at $20 for two rolls the costs add together upwardly. Think about information technology you lot can scan your stuff at dwelling and save your money for pulsate scans and large professional prints. Epson V500 scans are good enough for pocket-sized prints and if you lot want to get crazy and go big get a pro drum scan. Information technology will be way better than annihilation you will get from a concatenation of any sort. At that place is no way I would pay $xx for developing and proofing of any kind... let alone $33.
    Funny story. I was forced to go to my local Walgreens because the Fuji lab at my local Sam's Society was on the fritz. While I was there the clerk told me they were slated to get rid of their wet lab setup entirely at that location. He too said that a "professional" photofinisher down the road got rid of his wet lab years ago. What he would do was go some pretty good coupons Walgreens used to take and bring his customers film down to Walgreens to be developed and printed. He would then become back to his store and sell the prints to his loyal customers... with a salubrious marker up. I bet plenty of his customers would scoff at the thought I employ the Walmart ship out service for all my medium format developing. Photography really puts a grin on my face :D
  9. My neighborhood Walgreens simply got rid of their minilab. All film is sent out now and they replaced the Fuji Frontier with a Noritsu dye-sub printer. I tried their prints yesterday and the results expect good. Possibly amend than the Frontier prints on Crystal Annal for b&westward, since at that place'south no slight blue, green or cherry tint.
    The manager said the only trouble they've noticed with the dye-sub printer is a tendency to gum up the works when customers expecting babies want prints of their ultrasound tests. Apparently the Noritsu has troubling with batch press when the prints are mostly black.
  10. motion-picture show was rolled upwards and put dorsum into the film container​
    NEVER permit them do this. The less they handle the film the improve. They are set up up to cut and sleeve the picture show relatively cleanly. Deviate from that at your motion-picture show's peril.
  11. Jeff, yea they are screwed. All of theme(36) are similar this, some are worse. I just quit scanning. Sams just opened a new shop close by. I will phone call tomorrow and see if they process film. Fingers are crossed.
    Louis, this is the starting time time I've always gotten a ringlet back in the canister. I didn't ask for it, every bit they usually give me my negatives already cut and sleeved. Lesson learned.
  12. Not any help to me as we practice not have a Wallgreen's in our county.​

    Ross, don't you live in Monterey County? If then, in that location'due south plenty of Walgreens there. Maybe you are confusing information technology with Walmart.
  13. Ha! I just had 11 rolls adult at Costco... and they rolled upwardly the moving-picture show and stuffed it back in the canister besides! Plainly I forgot to ask for the negatives to be cutting, and they take some photographers who insist on cutting their ain negs, so they fit in the 6 image strip sleeves. I discover the 6 prototype strip sleeves to exist annoying, and the six epitome strip scanner I have is impossible to align properly without mucking virtually with the negatives too much.

    Now, in a previous interaction with said Costco'due south photograph manager, I did enquire for uncut negs (for that coil) and non only did I get them, I got the entire neg in a very nice plastic sleeve, loosely rolled upwardly and in a cardboard box. The nice lady who processed my moving picture today must not have known about the special plastic sleeves and the boxes.

    I approximate I'm going to have some fun with the scissors tonight. Anyone accept any tips on how to become the film out of the canisters with a minimal amount of harm?
