Where to get 120 film developed?

[ding76uk]

Hi. My GF just bought me a Holga for my birthday, complete with 10 rolls of film! Where is the best place to 120 film for it developed?

I am looking for my first few rolls just to get the film developed and contact sheet done, til I have had a play and see if anything is worth enlarging.

Cheers in advance.

I used Transpacolor when I had my Holga, and also used them for my B&W film processing. Pretty good but I think these were the first ones I came across so I cannot compare with others!

What film is it?

If you want to do black and white it's very simple to develop it yourself.

It's colour, Someone said Peak imaging to me, anyone know if they are any good/relatively cheap?

Haven't had a play at developing my own B&W in years, but car boot season is around the corner, so hopefully pick up some stuff and get the smell of chemicals back in the nostrils.

I've used Peak Imaging before and others on this forum do. Never heard any complaints.

Peak are good and cheap(ish)

If you save them up (hard I know) til you have 10 or so rolls then there is a 15% discount I think.

Peak Imaging or Transpacolor would be my choice for colour. For black and white try Ilford's in house process and print servive for prints on proper photographic paper.

Cheers for that. Will give Peak a go. As much as I wish I could, first roll in a new (albeit toy) camera it is unlikely I will have the patience to wait, I'm sure I'l be hopping up and down every day the postie comes until I get them back, lol.

They're pretty quick to send stuff back.
