120 Film Processing

**andrewjesaitis** · 03-19-2011, 04:10 PM

So I just found 5 rolls of B&W 120 film at the bottom of a box. I think I shot them in college. Anyway, is there any reasonable way to get this processed?

I looked around and labs want like $30 /roll for hi res files. Or $9 for just negs. Maybe this is reasonable and I'm a cheapskate, but it seems really pricey to me. I mean for $50 I can almost buy darkroom stuff and develop them on my own. What are you film shooters doing these days (are there any of you left??)?

Check out the prepaid mailers from BH. I swear they used to be ~$10 for print and process. I've got a local place that's done my last few rolls for me. Int he end though, you're right, if you've got the space and desire and are doing a lot of rolls you can process and print your own at home.

Fuck in Jackson there was a place that processed and scanned them onto a disk for you for ~$12 or something like that. I had a few rolls processed here locally in Boston and they turned out to be $27 each. So much for shooting my Holga around these parts.

Fifty bucks will get you what you need to process those rolls and dozens more. An epson v600 will scan them all for $200.

Live a little.

That's about what I figured. Guess it's time to find my old developing notes...

There are lots of youtube videos on the processing.

Take them to Walmart. No joke, they send them out to a Fuji lab and you get them back in about 2 weeks. Processing and prints for <$5 here in Denver. The price varies by location though.
