I just found out I'll be traveling to Amsterdam, NL on a business trip this April. the wife and the Toyo (4x5), Rollei (MF) and the digital will be traveling with us. Oh yeah the dog as well...Yes I live in Europe so the dog coming though extravagant is normal for us...
Anyway to the problem at hand we have been shooting B&W photography but spring in Netherlands (when the rain stops)...the color is breathtaking. So I am looking at the standard color films Kodak/Fuji and now I have an issue of instant over normal development. I want to try instant but then I lose a negative. So I think I'll play with instant but would rather have the negative.
Now to my quandary, are there reputable businesses that develop color 4x5 and 120 film? Would it be better to develop my own film? I've looked at developing my own color, I have done it in the past (college 20+ yrs ago..) but barely have any recollection of what I did or how... The beer was good and cheap or was it just cheap?
Anyway to develop or not and then what is a good film in 4x5/120 film that can be developed easily?
Still researching the developing "how" so any links on that would be a help. Sorry for the rapid questions but I hit Amsterdam in 2 weeks...
Thanks again
