Film: Where to Get It and Process It
Here's a list of places that carry camera and movie film as well as "odd" size film processing and printing.
I update this list as I find new places. If you know of any other shops to get film, flash bulbs, batteries, processing, etc...please let me know.
The alternative to tracking down and paying a month's rent for a roll of 116, 616, 118, 122...etc...is use end adapters with 120 film. Check out the adapters available here.
Here's an article: How To Respool 120 Film Onto A 620 Spool. You can save yourself alot on money by respooling your own fim...and it's easy!
Find film and film processing in:
Australia - Canada - Germany - The Netherlands - Spain - United Kingdom - United States
The Black-List:
Here's the list of places that should be avoided! A company has to really suck to make it into this shameful place. Only companies that I have had personal contact with can make the cut. Let me know of any companies that you believe belong on this list and I will look into them. Let's protect each other from bad companies who steal from us.

Film Photography Store

I placed an order, waited 3 weeks with no word, no answer to emails until contacting one of their suppliers, told them to please send the package, waited 2 weeks with no word or answer to emails, recontacted a supplier and started consumer protection action, was contacted and a refund was finally forced out of them. Film photography should be fun! The website now seems to be gone but keep your eyes open for a restart.
