Is Costco still developing film? I did not know that; good to know!

It appears that you're looking for a developing store instead of developer to DIY. I've used Dwayne's Photo and The Darkroom. Both did an excellent job. Their turn-around was pretty good, and I believe they send you mailers so you don't have to pay postage.

I have been a photography hobbyist ever since I was 8 and I am now 74. I would like to process my own black-and-white and Ektachrome film once again as I haven't done it since 1968. I realize that Kodak discontinued Ektachrome but I have read that it is making a comeback which is OK with me. Also, there is still-available Agfachrome which is processed with the same E-6 chemistry as Ektachrome. While I have 2 digital cameras such as my Canon PowerShot SX160 IS and my Apple iPhone 5's onboard digital camera, both of which provide very-high-quality photos, I am still a film die-hard with such 35mm SLR's as a Voigtlander Bessamatic Deluxe, a Yashica FX-3 and an early-1960's-vintage Asahi Pentax ME I actually found along with 2 screw-mount lenses all in good condition in a dumpster. I have the ION FILM 2 SD PLUS film scanner with which I can scan both B&W and color negatives and color slides. The use of film enables me to have physical documentation of the photos I shoot on it which is something digital cameras cannot provide even though the center and edge definition of digital photos is inherently better than film photos. It's all a matter of personal choice as to what we feel works best with digital photography as opposed to what we feel works best with film. When both black-and-white and color films are used for later digitizing, they should have low ISO's and be virtually grain-free for best results. By the way, while black-and-white film processing is easy, color film processing can be very tricky especially with the first developer whose prescribed temperature must not vary by any more than plus-or-minus 1/4 of a degree Fahrenheit and the film's immersion time must not exceed even one second....pretty tight tolerances, eh? Also, best results can be obtained by (1.) using distilled water for all the solutions and (2.) a good-quality developing tank, preferably a Nikor stainless steel one. A darkbag is essential for loading film onto the developing-tank reels and it is also recommended that surgical gloves be worn at all times during the processing to prevent natural skin oils from smudging the film.

I'm impressed with the number of folks on this site that, like myself, still like to shoot film. I, personally, am about to take the plunge into medium format (film of course.)

I shoot mostly Ilford HP5 or Kodak 5222 (Eastman double X) when shooting black and white. For color, I'm partial to either Portra 400 or Lomo 400 but I'll shoot just about anything.

For developing and printing I do it at home both color and black and white but if I send it out my color goes to Willow Photo Lab online They do real wet prints and develop/scan at reasonable prices.

The best 35m negatives I ever got came from Kodak Tri-X and Kodak Microdol-X diluted 1:3. Beautiful.

[Yes, Costco is developing film] In California anyway, there was some up-roar about them ending it in-store in some other states, but providing shipping and service to a central regional COSTCO processing center. I'm a member and asked about it. Seemed like it was more a space issue than film vs digital.

So does that mean there is a Costco facility that still develops film? Anywhere?
