Default Sending film in for developing.

I have been using my local Wal-Mart over the years to get my film
developed and it has been super cheap. I could get a roll of 35mm print
film done for about $2-$3.00. Now it is the same price as the one hour
places and they take a week. It used to take two days. It is strange
that 120 film developed there is still only something like $2.00 a roll
for 10 exposures, but it does take two weeks. I know they send it to Fuji
in my state. I sent my last roll to York. It used to be that York had
about 10 labs and I could send it to Chicago or somewhere around there.
Now I have to send it to Maryland, which I guess is their only lab. I
have heard they are owned by the same company as Clark and a few others.
(York is cheaper though.) I can get my film developed (both formats) at my
local camera store, but again it is around $6.00. I don't do enough to do
my own. I was wondering if any one knows of a place to send film that is
not going to cost an arm and a leg? I'm in Wisconsin. Thanks.


I've just started (after about 35 years) using 120 film again. Plus
I'm in northern Calif (Santa Rosa), but heyyy. You may wish to try these
folks:

Keeble & Shuchat Photography – 290 California Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94306
Phone: (650) 327-8996 FAX: : (650) 327-6231

Develop and Proof Sheet (B&W):
120mm ........................................... 12.00
220mm ........................................... 16.00

They also handle 35mm (color and B&W) and 120/220 color, plus all
sorts of enlarging. I just bo't some 120 B&W film (5 rolls), UPS took about
a day and a half (I'm at the end of the UPS drivers route). I'm fairly sure
they do this work in house. Here we have a Walgreens store close by that has
all the 35mm color print eveloping/printing machinery right there behind the
counter. Unfortunately, the guy there didn't even know there WAS any kind of
film besides 35mm color!
