Film Developing Over the summer I bought an old Kodak camera at a garage sale. It takes Kodak 620 film, how easy is it to get this film developed, I can't do it myself.

620 film is the same size as commonly available 120 or 220 roll film for medium format cameras. However, the spools are different. 120/220 spools will not fit a 620 camera. If you have the 620 spools, you can respool 120 or 220 film onto them (in total darkness, of course). Any lab that does 120/220 film can develop "620" film.

Hi Stephanie, It’s going to be easy: The film sizes 120 and 620 are interchangeable except the 120 film has a more robust spool. Most professionals still shoot 120 film as this is the film used by most medium format cameras. Most any lab you find in the Yellow Pages will have no difficulty developing and printing 620. That being said, except for the novelty of using an antique camera, why do it. Best of luck, Alan Marcus

I intend to use it mostly for a collector piece, I just thought it would be fun to shoot a roll or two with it.

Hey Steph: Since you don't sound too enthused about respooling your own film for this project, try this link at J&C Photo and just buy what you need, pre cut, pre spooled, and ready to go. http://www.jandcphoto.com/index.php?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=29 Take it light.
