I have 3 rolls of 120 that I shot with my Diana that have been sitting in a black bag for about 5yrs. :-) I think I should get them developed already.

Suggestions as to where? I DONT want to spend a lot of money on this since they're not going to be any good anyways. Just looking for negs and proofs.

Was thinking 8 elm but they're too $$$$.

Shoppers doesn't do proofs, they are not that clean, just ok if you give them sleeves. 8 Elm sends B&W to TIW.

Pacific mall is also cheap. Downtown TIW Aden and 8 elm more or less the same price for colour. TIW usually has the cleanest result with Downtown a close second. Downtown cheapest medium resolution scans for proofs. TIW quickest turn around for B&W.

I am pretty close to Pacific Mall. Is there a particular shop that you have good results from? What about Henry's?

I've been going to Elpro for my 120. They're really great. Pretty clean and cheap at less than $5 a roll to develop.

There's Amazing Photo at Market Village but I've asked and it's like $20 to develop and scan a roll of 120. =/

I tried here once:
http://www.phoenixprolabs.com/


I think the site is out of date since I was charged differently from what was listed ($5/roll). Their selling points for me are their non-downtown location and their hours, so I may go back again soon.

I did some more digging in the Markham and Japan Camera @ Markville Mall does 35mm and 120 formats in house. They will process B&W as long as they are C41. Other places like Blacks and Shoppers will send out 120. I am kind of relieved.
