Printing of 120mm film. URGENT HELP.

snippetysnip · 30th August 2007

Hey, I've been reading this forum back to back for but I've yet to find the answer I'm looking for.

Question:
How much does printing (not scanning) and developing a 120mm film cost in total? And where? I am a student so my budget is a little bit tight. My 120mm film has been sitting no my table top for weeks

Best if it's at east too

And is printing or scanning cheaper?

Thanks a bunch!

Maybe you should try calling a few pro labs in Singapore.

hacknet · 30th August 2007

normally they cost the same as 35mm.

xxxger · 30th August 2007

120mm have to manual feed one by one, therefore more exp ... usually 1 x 4R is about 80 cents i believes.
35mm uncut film can auto feed into the machine, therefore 1 x 4R is around 30 cents ba.

catchlights · 30th August 2007

printing from 120 negative is more ex than 35mm film, about double or triple the price of printing from 35mm neg (depend where you send to), bear in mind than depend of what format you are shooting, eg 645, 66 or 67, some image area may be crop on 4R prints.

most people do now is scan the negative into digital files, so they can print it anywhere, do note that scan from 120 negative also more expensive than 35mm, is counted by per frame, not per roll.

Oh I see. Thanks! So I should scan first and print later? Urmm..where is good for scanning then? TripleD or KT? lol

Heh, sorry for asking so much questions!

Ohh, grace is at sunset way yes? How long do they take to develop the film? Hahah it's out of the way for me but I can go there when I go for my dental appointment but it's like every once a month. Lol.

Approximately how much does it cost per roll of film, develop the film and scan it into digital file? I'm interested in going into medium format..

Processing about $3.00 to $5.00/roll, Scanning per frame $0.80 to $2.00. most of the lab provide this service.

that is besides the point. we use film for the aesthetics not for the efficiency or cost savings. if your posts are just to advertise services that he is NOT looking for then don't post in the first place.

Sorry, but there is a place for this kind of post, and it is in the services/help wanted forum.

Plus, by stating that you have a service, are you not advertising what you are selling?
