120 processing in Spring, TX - 06-20-2010, 07:33 PM


Anyone know of anywhere to develop 120 C-41 near Spring, TX?

The only place I know in the Houston metropolitan area is AZ Photo lab off Washington. While, they do a good job, they are hard to get to from where I work and are only open during the week.

On-site processing?

I can mail it myself to an out of town developer like Dwayne's

No, they mail it out.

My wife pays $1.99 for a roll of 6x7. Thats with 4x6 prints, or whatever size the send.

There is a place in the tunnel downtown, if you want to pay $18.00.

Or PhotoSource in Spring. I have never used them.

If you do let me know if they are any good.

If you want quick turn-around there is a place on I-10 in the same shopping center as Ranch 99 (the old Fiesta) called the Photo Lab. They do a great job (I take all my 120 c-41 and e-6 to them) and it is about $10/roll, but they have it done in a day or 2 rather than a week or 2. They offer other services, too, but I usually just get the film developed and uncut in a sleeve. They process on-site and offer faster services, if you want to pay for it.

I welcome comments on any picture I post... Thanks.

Thanks for the tip on PhotoSource. I'll give them a try.

I live in Houston, but work in the Woodlands, so getting to somewhere in Houston that is only open 8-5, M-F is impossible.

The post office recently lost one of my film packages, so I've hesitant about mailing more, plus I like supporting local labs.

As acquaintance of mine used PhotoSource. She was happy with the results.

Houston Camera Exchange has a photo lab open on Saturdays that handles 120/220 C41. The price is $4.99 per roll of 120 / $5.99 for 220, this is for dev and sleeve only.

I brought them E-6 about a year ago and they wouldn't touch it.

Humble Camera? You can't beat the Walmart price. They are cheaper than just the postage to/from Dwayne's. Takes most of 2 weeks.

I took my film to Photosource over lunch and they'll have it ready by tomorrow night. They said that film pro get about 2 rolls of film every two weeks.

I usually just have Ritz Camera do my color 35mm, but I recently got into medium format.

Just to give a followup, they did a quality job and had a two day turnaround, (although timing is not standard).
