Hi,

 

The last camera store with 120 film processing within reasonable distance
just went out of business.  So now I need to send out for processing all my
color film.  I am not a professional and rarely have used custom color labs.
Can anyone recommend a lab on the east coast that makes this easy?  Are
there mail order envelopes specifically designed for this?

 

I am also looking for a supply of light tight film holders to send out 4x5
inch and 9x12cm sheet film.  Fugi and Kodak have 'quick loader' films
available (only 4x5) that have their own light tight holders but they are
expensive to use.  I am tired of scrounging around for light tight film bags
in old film boxes.  I have not been able to find a ready supply even on the
internet such that I could pop one or two sheets into a holder and send it
out.

 

I think a good color lab would do well to make the mail order process easy
for their customers by supplying envelopes, light tight film holders, etc.

 

Thanks!

 

Rob
