Some questions about processing for Holga

[aeskywan]

Hello all, newbie here! Just got an Holga and would like to make some enquires.

1) Which labs do same day processing for 120mm film? So far Ruby is the fastest at a waiting time of 3 days.
2) Ruby only has 2 types of 120 mm film. 400 asa colour and b/w. Where else can I get other types of 120 mm film?
3) Cross processing question. Does it mean that if I cross process my roll of film, I cannot do normal processing on it or do I get a roll of negs which I can choose to cross process or normal process later after the first round of processing?


Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your reply. The link is most useful. Just to clarify, if I cross process on my undeveloped roll, I can still normal process on the negatives later? Or is cross process irreversible?

errr
negatives cant be cross processed

color SLIDES can be cross process
once u cross ur color slides..
it will look like a negative against the light... only negatives colors...

if u normal process color slides..
when u look the slides against the light.. it will look like a normal printed picture with all the color...

and once u cross it .. it is forever like that

Hah thank you for that advice!! Thank goodness I didnt go ask the lab to cross process my negatives, they would be like "what on earth is this guy talking about?!"

Anyway is 3 days the minimum developing time for 120mm? Sigh Im a impatient sort of person and 3 days wait is so long to see the results of what I shot. Whether it turned out well or are they are spate of rubbish.....

actually i've heard that negatives can be xprocessed, just that it'll contaminate the chemicals they use to xpro. that's why film labs won't do it.

yes
but none of the labs will do it
cuz the color slides chemicals are much more expensive than ordinary negatives chemicals
contaminate liao have to throw away
