As a longtime Holga-lover, most of my shoots are on 120 film. All of my local photo shops that print 120 film are either out of business or discontinuing their processing labs. My membership at the local photography collective is expiring and I wasn't planning to renew because it is expensive and I don't use it often enough for it to be worth it. But I still shoot the occasional roll of 120 film.
Where do you get yours processed?

Re: printing 120 film...help!
Fri, January 26, 2007 - 7:41 AMI usually just take it to ritz/wolf camera.. I think you can also do prepaid mailers from labs online and such.. I would suggest just get a 120 tank and the chemistry (B&W) and a scanner that can do 120 film.. then develop the negs and scan them and do all the dark room crap in the computer (most scanners come with photoshop elements free..) Adobe has a beta of lightroom which is basically a digital dark room... yeah you may spend out 400 bucks but that save 40 rolls of processing and the wait from the out lab..
you can e-bay the tank and reel and just use your closet to load the can and your bathroom to do the processing once it is in the tank you can do all the work in the light...
any photo store that sells used stuff can get you up and running doing the processing real cheap... you need a tank and reel, a thermometer, some jars, a measuring cup (glass is best) a Sink (you have access to that) a stopwatch and something to hold the mixed chemistry like an old bleach jug (wash it out really well)..
the chemistry you need is deverloper, Stopbath, fixer and some photoflo.
