120 Film Processing in the UK

[Jackaubrey]

Well I have just finished shooting my first set of 120 film on my newly accquired 203FE and now I need to process the film.

Can anybody recommend a good processing house that is reasonably priced? The film is colour negative and I would also like the film scanned to CD-ROM at the same time.

I would also like to shoot on colour reversal film but I don't what I should go for and if this can also be scanned to CD.

Eventually I would like a digital back but this will have to wait a while!

Any advice and help will be appreciated.

From the research I have done (being new to the format and not knowing anything), 120 film developing and printing services generally cost between £20 and £13 per roll depending on where you go, and the size of prints required.

Transparency film can be scanned as easily as negative film (See subject in 'Digital Darkroom' here)

I live in rural France, and photo labs are few and far between, so I develop them myself. You don't need a darkroom - just a changing bag to load the film, and a water supply...

I realise this doesn't answer your question, but it's perhaps worth a thought.

Have you tried Metro or Genesis or Bayeaux labs in London? I use Metro lab all the time.

120 film processing

Try Tempo photographic in Abbey walk, Heath & Reach, Leighton Buzzard;
they specialise in this and a roll of 120 trannie costs £4 just for processing. He is ex Leica, and his work is excellent- 4day turnaround.
