How much does E-6 slide developing cost in Los Angeles?

Figure about $12–20 to develop a roll of E-6, plus scanning if you want digital files, and $16–26 for 120 medium-format E-6. Pricing is national in shape and sits above ordinary C-41 color developing.

Why might I have to wait for slide film?

E-6 is low-volume and needs dedicated chemistry, so many labs batch it — collecting rolls and running them every week or two — or forward them to a specialist. Confirm the lab runs E-6 in-house and ask the turnaround before a special trip.

Is slide film the same as color negative film?

No. Slide (reversal) film uses the E-6 process and gives a positive image; ordinary color film uses C-41 and gives a negative. They are not interchangeable, so make sure the lab knows you are dropping off E-6.
