Medium format film - getting it developed

    I'd like to shoot a few rolls of 120 colour film, but I don't know where to get it developed. There's darkroom facilities in college for black & white but I don't know of anywhere that would do medium format colour processing... I'm based in Galway, and the mail-based photo labs I've found online are British-based and very much professional-oriented (I'm just a lowly student, after all ;) ). Does anyone have any suggestions / recommendations?

    Thanks :)

    I'm not sure about Galway, but chances are some camera shop/chemist will send it to the centre down in Kerry to get it done. Will cost a fair bit though.

    Alternatively, day trip to Dublin. :)

    It'd be negatives. Pity dlab7 don't do it, but maybe I'll start using them for other stuff, thanks!

    Yeah, I was thinking that might be the only viable option :( Whereabouts would I be looking for?

    I usually go to Gunn's on Wexford St for C41.

    If you are looking for a very special job form a top notch developer ... the there is nobody who can compare to Hetty's in Dun Laoghaire ... she will take hours on a single image doing it exactly to your instructions and still only charge the going rate ... and bring out the very best in your images -

    see - http://www.hettysdarkroom.com/
    Her website says she is in Kinsale but I know for a fact she also works in DL -

    She is quite reasonable ... her rates are on her site... and has won awards for her work ...

    Just checked out some of her work (never knew she had any posted) ... if you need convincing check out the eyes on image Hetty003 ... this is a scan of a photo ... not the work of photoshop ...
