Where to send 35mm film to be developed? ›

Re: Developing time 35mm vs. 120. Some manufactures publish different times for different formats. In some cases the emulsions are not identical or the film base may be different, but in general you can use the 35mm times as a starting point for most films regardless of whether there is separate data for 120 rolls.

Secure your film inside zip-lock bags. Use a good shipping container – use a box and avoid envelopes. Securely seal your package with good, thick tape. Use a printed label – ensures the shipping details are easily scanned by the shipping company.

Not economic in terms of shooting: Fewer shots per roll (typically 8-16 images per roll depending on the camera) means that even though developing costs can vary, you will likely be paying more for buying and processing film for your 120 cameras.

There used to be more film formats back in the day—120 was first introduced in 1901 for a Kodak camera called the Brownie No. 2—but when it comes to modern medium format, unless you're lucky enough to find a double-length roll of 220, 120 film is most common in 2023.

You can buy 110 film at Film photography Store or Lomography.

Can you send off film to be developed? ›

The first and most important choice when sending off your film to be developed, and to avoid any common mistakes, is to choose a lab you trust. We are fortunate in the UK to have a plethora of independent film labs up and down the country doing magical work- including us at the WonderLab!

Yes. Old film doesn't go bad all at once – colors shift, contrast fades away, and fog builds up. Old film (~10+ years past the process date) will have faded, skewing towards magenta. In many cases, this is preferred and authentic to the time.

Where to get film developed the cheapest is almost always a question any film enthusiast has asked before. Walmart is definitely one of the cheaper options, but CVS and Target are other stores worth considering as well. If accessible in your area, these two are the go-to for cheap film developing.

All Walgreens stores with a photo lab can accept your 35mm film. Select stores with a photo lab can also accept APS (Advanced Photo System), 110 film, 127 film, negatives, or a disposable/single-use camera. Walgreens stores that can accept the rolls/negatives will use an outside service to fulfill the orders.
