Hi guys,

I did try searching for this info but came up with a weird jumble of crap and no answers.

I have several rolls of 120 film that were shot some time ago (as in years) and have been living in zip-lock bags in my fridge ever since. They were shot on a mixture of toy and vintage medium format cameras so they are "experimental" to say the least, especially after this much time. Some is colour, some is B&W and I think there may be an E6 in the lot as well.

I would like the films processed, possibly cut and sleeved and I would rather get a contact sheed done, however I'd be happy with a set of prints so that I can see the images in positive. For the E6, obviously this isn't necessary.

As always the choices are "Speed", "Quality" and "Price" so I'll take Price with a side of Quality and I'm more than willing to wait so Speed's not an issue.

So TPMGer's, I'm open to suggestions/reccommendations as to where to take my films. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Toronto image work will do it in 24 hours. Downtown Camera will also do it but the B&W takes a week. I do my own scanning so I don't know the costs for contact prints. But if you want scans Downtown has better prices for develop and scan

8 elm camera does it but quality is a bit less as is cost.

Elpro on Elm St. has been great for developing. I scan my own negatives so I don't know about their scanning quality.

Thanks guys, you've given me some food for thought. I work near/near direct transit to a number of these places so it would seem I even get to choose. :)
