Can I send out 120 film to be processed?

Question

I got this Lomo Diana camera as a gift. I'm planning on using Fuji Provia 100F 120 film. I can't develop it myself because I don't have a dark room (and even if I did, I wouldn't know how). Usually, with my Canon Rebel, I just go to Walmart and have the film sent out. But 120 film is discontinued , so can I still do that?

Answer 1

you can still process that.. You may go to a nearest camera film station near your place and seek for help.  

Answer 2

120 film is definitely NOT discontinued.  I don't know who told you that.  I use it all the time.  There are tons of different companies that make 120 film.  

You can go to any decent camera shop and buy 120 film, or you can also order it online.  I usually get my film from Freestyle Photo Supplies in Los Angeles, California.  Here's their website:

They have a whole catagory on their online catalog just for 120 film...so it is definitely NOT discontinued!  I don't know who told you that.

You can definitely send your film out to a lab to be developed.  Don't even bother taking 120 film to Walmart.  One place I would recommend is Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, Kansas.  They develop all kinds of different film, including 120 size.  They even develop 8mm and 16mm movie film.  (Yes, you can still buy movie film, very easily.)  But there are a lot of other labs that can develop 120 film.  Just look on Google.  Any professional photo lab (NOT Walmart or Walgreens, etc) can develop 120 film.

If you ever want to try black and white film, it's actually very easy to develop it yourself at home.  You can order the chemicals, photo paper, and other supplies online, or a camera shop will have them.  I actually take mostly black and white landscape photos, and I develop the film and pictures myself.

Not sure about Wallyworld or drug stores, but any camera store will handle it for you.

Answer 5

120 film isn't  discontinued ... it's considered medium format and more professional. You may need to take to a camera store.
