Yes, this is one of those labs that offers prints and slides from
*their* (motion picture) film. But they will also make copy slides from
*any print film* (C-41), so one can shoot the print film of ones choice
and they will make the slide copy of the uncut negs or will do the
procesing for you also. Be sure to ask for unmounted slides, as with any
lab. 

I do not know what specific film they use to make the slide copies, but
I know that they changed to a "new and improved" version a couple of
years ago that reportedly gives better results than what they used to
use.  I notice they now also offer a variety of other services including
APS, 120, E-6 slide processing and digital. 

Incidentally, the previous comments about high grain should probably be
clarified as to what print film was initially used before the slide copy
was made. My experience in the past for stereo slides was starting with
Kodak 100 speed print film, either Gold or Royal Gold. I didn't notice
the grain but thought the colors were somewhat blah at the time. In the
distant past I had tried "their" film and was not happy with it even for
2D. -Linda
