I'm having trouble finding a lab to process my 2x3 sheet film, even here in the big city...

Not that I really want to go sending boxes of unexposed film across the land, but do any of you have a local spot that can handle my paltry quantity of fresh B&W 200 speed sheets?

I'm simply not set up to develop it my own.

For those of you who posted earlier asking about the 2x3 film available from J & C, I'll let you know my reactions when I get some negs...

man if you can't find an out of the way place in NYC where could you go?

For processing 2x3 all you need is either an HP combi tank or a Yanke agitank, some one shot developer and two bottles of fix...one fresh one used.

I know space is a premium in NYC (probably why you went with 2x3 instead of 11x14) but these could be stored under the sink...you do have a sink, right?

Or, you could try looking in the Ace Index. Lots of labs listed by city, state, country, etc.

Thanks for the prodding Les... Point taken, and already realized, actually. I do understand that the process is easy to learn. In fact, one of my very good friends is Michael Macioce (http://www.macioce.org/), who teaches Advanced Darkroom Technique at Pratt AND my girlfriend has a darkroom in her apartment.

So of course the best solution would be to do it myself. Cheaper, faster, better. I've even taken steps, hunting down a bunch of 2x3 hangers...

But time being what it is, and my impatience being what it is, I'd hoped to find someone to do it for me.

I'm curious. Do you think if would help my case if I took the film IN HANGERS to the lab who does my 120? Just thinking out loud... I'm going to call them in the morning.

I use one of these for 2X3 sheet film: http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=details&sid=1043966185330817&sku=DKTY45
Just load it in the dark...the rest with the lights on. Simple and reliable. And, no, I don't think a photo lab would want you to take your film in already loaded in hangers. They would have their own methods and would want to start with the raw film in a light-tight box. (I think.) Fred.
