These are beautiful!
I guess digital only now for low light hand held colour without flash
macodirect still has some apparently..
I guess it depends how low the light actually is, but a fast lens and Portra 800 shot at 1600 is also an option maybe?Yea we're spoiled with the insanely high ISOs of today's digital cameras though.

Film is craaaaaazy money now!
Is it prohibitive for you guys to fill buckets with hot water and keep a thermometer handy? It’s not impossible to push c-41, and easier by yourself. If you bleach-bypass you gain a couple stops because the silver layer remains.

That's not a bad price I guess, might be tempted if shipping to the UK is reasonable. I was paying £10 a roll including shipping from Hong Kong or Japan for the last few I bought - has gone up to £20 a roll on ebay now.
Have experimented with pushing Portra 400 to 1600 in the past, and the results are kinda usable but you start to get colour shifts. Not as nice as the Natura 1600 anyway.
Might try pushing the Lomo (re-branded Kodak) 800 one stop to 1600 to see what that's like - it's relatively cheap. Or just try underexposing one stop when I need it as most C41 can take one stop of under exposure ?

I'm in Birmingham and use Palm Labs, and they're great. Run by a really friendly guy who cycles. Perhaps more at the pricier end for C41 compared to Filmdev for similar quality. B&W and E6 work out being competitive though as they charge the same for everything.
However Palm do dip and dunk and are more than happy to push C41 which some places can be sniffy about.
Goodbye Fuji Natura 1600, used my last couple of rolls at my wedding a week ago. I guess digital only now for low light hand held colour without flash
