I've just put a roll of 120 through my father in laws old, circa 1937 Voightlander Bessa 46. It's a 620 format. Now to send it off for developing. Not sure whether it's light tight or not.

1st film I've shot for decades. I already cant wait to get it back. Anyone use http://www.photosupplies.co.uk/wpc/

I'm thinking of sending my precious to him.

Loving it, got an old OM10 upstairs, cooee...mr olympus....

Never before been on a shoot and only taken 12 exposures, concentrates the mind.
 
Pretty much anywhere that does 120 processing will be able to develop that as dip and dunk systems are very flexible so they can work with other roll film formats like 620 and 127. Look in the 'Film Processing in the UK' at the top of the page for suggestions. I've not got any experience of where you linked.

Personally I would send it off to 'The Darkroom', as their prices are quite good, their processing quality excellent and they have a rapid turn around. You might want to email them first though to check their happy to develop it, I don't see why not as they hand develop most B&W film and its near identical to 120.
 
:plusone: For The Darkroom, excellent prices, excellent service and really quick turn-round time.
 
Thanks for your help. The Darkroom it is, just emailed them.
 
Don't forget to ask The Darkroom to email you a pre-paid postage form, so it doesn't cost anything to post your film to them.

You can probably download it from their website but I've never found it.
 
Now I've found someone local to develop 120, I got the Etrs out of the cupboard after about a year and found the counter said 6 shots used erm can't remember what I shot...but in finishing the film up I'm expecting an enormous cock-up as I forgot the AEII prism is not automatic for shutter speeds when set to "M" (M=manual) so about 5 shots were at 1/15 sec and worse I looked at the frame counter and it said 12 erm Ok 3 more to go, but winding on for the next shot and it just kept winding wtf it's broken...anyway back home I used the changing bag and the film was fully used, well I can't remember doing any double exposures but that's what I reckon I'm gonna get on some frames.
