dr5 processing / SCALA
dr5 processing is a very diverse service. dr5 reverse-processes over 25 existing B&W films including
SCALA, 35mm - 11x14 & special runs of some cine films [on request]. Please email or call us if you have any questions or concerns about this service.
First; use our site guide to the left. click on the "F" icon. This will take you to the dr5-FILM REVIEW.
Look over the listed films. Each film type will produce different qualities. Besides the different film types,
each film type has PUSH-PULL quality changes. If you roll your mouse over the image samples for each film,
you will note the image sample in our exclusive developer-1 or 2 - neutral or sepia chromes. This is your
choice, we do not charge extra for this service. It is important to read the text on the film-review page. Understand that these films are now slide films and no longer negative films. It is also important to tell us your shooting iso.
In most cases the factory iso is unimportant. The iso you choose is the iso that film becomes. After you choose your film, shooting iso and tone you are ready to send in your film. Equally important to understand is to forget how you know all the films, as negative film. THESE ARE NEW FILMS TO YOU as dr5 changes them from the negative counterpart!

Be sure to take care in sending in your film. Best is a small box, to protect the film. X-ray has not been a concern in shipping, but it cant hurt to write "UN-PROCESSED-FILM" on your packages if you have apprehension. Turn-time is usually a few days. Shipping time is usually the length in delivery. We can accommodate rush orders.
NOTE ON PRODUCTION: dr5 is a highly specialized photo-process. We give absolute attention to excellence. On some occasions you might experience delays in service. There are reasons this might occur. Our leading amount of delay in services is Quality control & volume related. WE WILL NOT sacrifice getting orders out if Quality is compromised. Please be patient if this occurs.
OUR PROCESSING / SERVICES POLICY AND QUALITY GUARANTEE:The dr5 process is a highly customized process. Quality control is very tenuous and precise. We will not put our clients film in hams way, for any reason. We make every effort to meet deadlines, and we will bend over backwards to provide a required delivery. If by some circumstance our controls are off, QUALITY will reside over DELIVERY. Volume will also cause delays. Quality we feel sets us apart from any other lab. We will not run your film unless EVERYTHING in the production process is perfect. The same rules apply for our other services.
