Apologies if this is the wrong thread for this question, I did do a search and got zero results and this seemed a likely place.
I’ve recently returned to film with a Hasselblad 500c/m. I’ve put a couple of rolls through it, a Velvia 100 and an Ilford BW. Now I need to find a good processing lab. I’m in Pennsylvania but I’ll post them anywhere in the US. There’s nothing like a personal experience recommendation. Any suggestions?
I’m certainly not going to develop them myself, easy as it might be.
Thanks

In Los Angeles I use Schulman Photo Lab for black and white and The Icon for E-6. I'm sure there are labs much closer to you, say, in NYC that can do a great job.

Not in any way comparable in quality to the work of Peter Figen, I nevertheless share two shots for comparison and buyer-satisfaction!
I finally received a Nikon Coolscan V ED scanner from Glazer's Camera in Seattle. Bought on 26 April, eBay's Global Shipping Program in its gross inefficiency ensured that I didn't receive the item until 11 May here in Australia.
These two images are copies of a 1978 original using some generic relatively cheap 100ASA slide-film (I was a UK student doing some training in France, but also being paid the mandated 'minimum inter-professional training' wage (SMIC), so I was relatively penniless)!
Image #1. Pentax K-1 using an old Ohnar slide duplicator, with LED light source at 5600K and that WB dialled in n the camera.
#2. A scan made by the Nikon Coolscan V ED. I am very pleased at the scanner's performance.
The camera used was 90% likely to be my old Zenit SLR with Helios 50mm lens. there's evidence of light leaks in many of my slides from that summer. The camera later fell off the back of the same motorbike when I was back in England. A canvas haversack secured by bungy cords to my metal rear rack wasn't sufficient to detain the Eastern Bloc hardware!!
Colour balance too warm
Nikon Coolscan V ED scan. 300 dpi. Not fully spotted yet!

No, you simply got to it in between my initial text and adding the photos!

Two more shots for comparison, this time between scanners.
No spotting really done yet. I hope to see if I can run Silverfast under OSX to see if I can automate cleaning during scan, something that Vuescan (on its IR clean 'light' setting isn't doing well. I need to check out the various degrees of Vuescan cleaning to see if one gives acceptable results without too much loss of detail).
The WB and other settings are identical between scanners. I was relatively happy with the Minolta, but comments from Edward and other references led me to seek out a Coolscan.

Congratulations on the new scanner, David.
If you can somehow make Nikon Scan 4.0 work on your computer, you would be surprised of the quality of the scans.

Hi Edward, thanks!
I didn't receive the Nikon Scan software with the scanner (it was bought at a great price). I'll have to investigate if I can get it.
My preference is to run on a Mac desktop running OSX 10.13.4 High Sierra, however I also have a fairly mundane laptop running Windows 10.
I note that the Nikon Scan sw will not run on Mac OSX after 10.1 and not on Windows 10. I have a purchased copy of Windows XP Prof that I can try and run under emulation on my Mac...we'll see!
thanks again, David

You can easily download it from any Nikon website. The trick is to have Vuescan pre-installed on your computer and while installing Nikon Scan you should opt not to install the drivers. Thus your scanner will use Vuescan driver instead. It might actually work on most versions of windows 10 but most certainly not on the Mac.

I will have to dig it up, but someone online got the last set of windows drivers signed for windows 8...works great on windows 10. I use the Nikon software on Windows 10 and get stellar results with the Coolscan 5000.
Btw, anyway need one? I have two.

Especially the last three ones have sort of a beautiful IR look to them - is Delta film sensitive in part of the shorter wavelength IR spectrum?

Yup. I have two of them. Used to do bulk scanning at the college I work at. They have a huge permanent art collection. When that job was done, scanners sat in favor of the flatbeds. Then when there were no official drivers for them, they were going to be trashed. Asked if I could have them...
Here is the link to the windows driver I was talking about.

You have to re-examine your process. D76 is one of the most common developers in the world. There are millions of examples of this developer producing excellent images. This developer is virtually bullet proof. You certainly do not need to use 65 degrees to produce good results.

Yeah that's weird. D76 was the mainstay developer we used in school , the one everyone learned with, and never had any issues with it.
