T400CN processing

greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo - Film & Processing : One Thread

I'm trying to find a straight answer to processing T400CN film at 1 hr. photolabs. The local Eckerd says their machines need filters that they don't have, so they can't print off T400CN. Wolf Camera (a large chain in Atlanta) says only their "downtown store" can print off this film. I thought this would work off "any" C-41 lab (process and print). Is this not so?

THIS IS SO! I GET IT DONE IN AUSTRALIA ALL THE TIME. I HAVE SINCE GONE OFF THIS FILM AND NOW USE T MAX FILM. I HAVE HAD MUCH HELP FROM A FRIEND OF MINE IN AUSTRALIA WHO USED TO COMPETE INTERNATIONALLY IN PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITIONS AND CAN RECOMMEND THAT YOU TO FIND A MENTOR.

T400CN

Yeah! Me too! While in a hurry I took it to Wal-Mart instead of my normal lab for processing and was told they couldn't process it; said the last one they did was damaged and didn't come out right. I think they're just under-trained and was scared of the absence of color. I insisted that it could be processed normally in C-41 and even showed them the C-41 markings on the canister. They "still" told me it couldn't be done in their system! What's up with this?! *LOL* Ended up going back to my normal lab across town and waiting two days for it. Wish it could be processed using TMax or D-76 or something. Nice film, by the way!
