I am new to medium format film, may someone recommend a high quality film developing shop for 6x7 film? (Preferably in NYC but will mail film to a place of exceptional quality). I know I can get it done at B&H but I'm less than certain of how they are for developing. Thank you!

For E-6 I use this lab http://www.agximaging.com

LTi is great
www.ltinyc.com
Duggal as well
www.duggal.com
If you want to give a mail-order firm a try, loads of folks use Indie Film Lab:
www.indiefilmlab.com
I'm basing my answers here on the assumption that you're shooting color neg film(aka C41)
cheers,
Dan

Duggal is my joint. on 23rd.

Duggal, has been my go to lab since I moved to NYC in 1990.
They are the best, they are consistent, and very clean!
They always deliver.

sorry,
got the LTi website wrong, here's the correct one:

Me too. I moved away few years ago but mail all my color and E6 to them. They are the best.

Thank you all for the suggestions. AGX has a beautiful website, I think I'm going to keep it local for this batch though. Does anyone have feelings on LTI vs. Duggal? Duggal is quite a bit more money, but if it's worth it, I'm willing to pay more.

I recommend the color house, downtown at 177 Lafayette street. They have some of the equipment and personnel from the now defunct L&I.

I vote Duggal because they were good to me over the course of my career. Top notch. I don't know if they re better than LTI.

I just sent out 3 rolls to LTI for the first time. I haven't gotten them back yet but they insert in pages in 3 3 2 2 rather then in my requested 4 3 3. I'll know more later about the quality of their processing.
