Does walgreens process 120mm film?

Question

and will they cross process?

if not, what range does it normally cost to send to a lab? and is cross processing extra? how much?

Answer 1

Most places will process 120 through their send off service. I rarely use Walgreens, however, more than likely they will.

I no longer have a local pro lab, with the last one having closed a little over a year ago. Right before the closed(in fact, on their last day of operation), they processed a half dozen rolls of 120 slide film for me at a cost of, I believe, $6.95 a roll. Most other labs are in that range for slide film. Print film processing typically runs $10-15 a roll, including proofs or a contact sheet.

I send all of my 120 film off through Walmart, who sends it to Dwayne's Photo in Kansas. The cost is $4.88 for slide film, or $2 for print film printed to very, very small prints.

As far as cross processing goes:

You'll typically need a pro lab to do this, first of all, although I have on occasion talked a local 1-hour lab into doing it for me on my 35mm slide film.

Processing C-41 film in E-6 chemistry really badly fouls up the E-6 chemistry. For this reason, most labs won't bother with doing this unless they're about to change out the chemistry anyway. Besides that, the results are really uninteresting, to me at least, since the results have a really strong orange cast that makes them difficult to see, and the contrast is really low.

E-6 film in C-41, however, can give some really interesting results with wacky colors. And, it won't bother the chemistry provided that the volume is relatively low(Kodak says 1 roll out of every 20, and no more than 5% of the total daily volume). Some labs still won't do this, however.

As for there being an extra charge, again, it depends. Most labs will tack on an extra couple of bucks, however.
