Minox Paarz Lab – a wonderful service

Minox Paarz Lab – a wonderful service

My last colour Minox prints were made by Minox Paarz Germany, a photo shop and lab which I have used extensively between 1997 until 2005. I used to either send the developed negative to them for prints (my process), or just sending them the negatives and they processed and printed them negs. My last order was placed in the summer of 2005; little was I to know that short afterwards, the lab will cease its business.

I never had any issues with this lab, always the best service I used in Europe, for Minox that is. Never sent them anything else, but then again, I very rarely used any other format in those days, apart from the usual waste of good 35mm BW film 🙂 . These here are from 2002, Minox A/IIIs, Agfa Optima 100 film.

The films were developed in an excellent manner, and printing was done on quality paper, usual Fujicolor Crystal or something, crisp and durable. Some of those prints (scanned) can be seen here and here.

Unfortunately, it ceased business at the end of 2005, and I was very sorry to hear that.
