jessops and 120 film developing 25th-13th and nothing...

[rgrebby]

I wanted to get some 120 film processed and printed cheaply, £8 for 5x5 prints and processing. Just to see if im on track with this hassleblad.

They said it would take 7 days and I took the film in on the 25th of May and still nothing.

Each time I go in they say they will call when its here but its getting silly now.
Trouble is I cant seem to find the ticket, I have the receipts and so though.


Does it usually take this long?

I dunno how long it takes usually but Jessops will send it out so they are at the mercy of who they send it to.
You're better off with a walk in lab, if not walk in, then a post to lab, Jessops is a middle man you don't need.
What film is this btw ?

If its anything like their E-6 service where 2 weeks means 3 -4 weeks, it could be any-time from 7 days to 21 days. I personally would not use them in future, since they managed to screw up developing my last E6 film with them, loads of them came out very over exposed despite me knowing that I had not overdone it so much that only a faint visible outline is noticeable in a sea of white.

Try Club 35 next time, their only £6.95 for colour 120 5"x5" inc P&P or £9.95 for B&W. Plus they are dead fast, not tried their 120 service yet due to me not having a Medium Format camera yet, but if its anything like their 35mm service, sent to their freepost address you get the prints on the mat in 2 - 3 days.

I used them in March and it took 3 weeks to get 1 film back. Did get a free one of them though.
