120 film developing, who?

[Sangoma]

My daughter wants to get some 120 films developed.

She would prefer develop and scan rather than prints.

She is looking for reasonable quality, fairly quick turn around, and a reasonable cost, as there are quite a few that she will need.

Also, and indications of cost?

Thanks

Try these, http://www.spectrumphotolabs.co.uk/

They don't do E6 though unfortunately. Prices are on their website they turn around in about 1 week with scans sent via wetransfer. They will scan to large TIFFs if you ask.

There might be a difference depending on whether they're colour films or b&w. I've been happy with Filmdev for processing and scanning colour print (C41) film, and you can find their prices by clicking on the "How do I order" button on https://filmdev.co.uk/

Sorry, B&W

If it is at all an option, then home developing herself ticks everyone of those boxes and more

I hear a lot of good things about analogue wonderlabs, an offshoot of the analoguewonderland site. Might have a voucher for them if you want, too, save a bit while she tries it out

Many labs do bnw by hand and charge a silly fee although I think Analogue wonderland have a jobo now for it, so id try them first or shoot XP2 as c41 in 120 and 35mm is very competitive from £4 a roll everywhere to £6

Yes of course, we have a tank and will be doing that, I did all my own developing and printing for years.
She wants to test the camera first, and see what it can do (she is more of an artist than a photographer, photography is just one aspect of art for her, though she does have a very good eye)

By doing things in stages, it means there are less unknowns at each step.

That's two for Analogue Wonderland, so will have a look later today, thanks.

I'd also recommend SilverPan Film Lab and the Exposure Film Lab, both offer great service. Dev, Scan and normally you just download via a dropbox link.

Used both without fault for the last 3 years or so, though I'm soon going to start to Dev my own B&W and just send off colour.

+ another 1 for Filmdev. Cheap, reliable, quick turnaround. Small scans are included in the dev cost, and they're sent via file transfer before you get your negs back.

I'm not sure how they compare cost wise but I use a local to me place called Jack's Lab Bristol.
