Hi,

I found an old Rolleiflex lying around my parents basement.  I believe it is
an Automat and takes 120 film.  Any suggestions for where to buy film and
process B&W and Color prints?

Thanks,

Marty

Any photo shop should have 120 film and should be able to tell you which labs
process 120 film.

Congratulations on your find.  That is a very nice camera.  It will probably
outlive all of us.

Depending on what Automat you have, McKeown's Cameras lists the value of
it between $120 and $400, so take care of it.

Automat...why Horn & Hardart of course. Oh, I've been waiting a long,
long time to be able to use that one.

Greetings there;

120 rollfilm is still very much available! As a medium-format
photographer, I of course use it all the time. There is a good selection
available in most of the larger photographic stores: to start off and
check out your camera I would suggest Kodak Portra 160VC colour negative
film - since processing will be faster and cheaper than some slide films
and most black-and-white films, and you'll also be able to observe any
chromatic abberations.
That's a nice old camera - worth quite some money, I think, so it's
worthwhile maintaining (and using).

My regards - F.C. Trevor Gale.

I highly recommend Unique photo,....   www.uniquephoto.com
pricing on par with B&H  sometimes better,.... better faster service
only draw back,....perhaps a $100 minimum,....but then you can shot
that in a weekend ;-)????

Main Photo & Imaging Service in Santa Ana, CA sells the film and processes
it there in their own lab.  Website:  www.mainphoto.com.  They have been in
business since 1933.

What a splendid find, congratulations.  I don't think that model has
an built in light meter, so perhaps take along a trusted 35mm model
to take light readings with.

I have a Rolleiflex, which is sadly underused since it came to my
posession.  The results I had when I took it into some local woodland
as a child were incredible - the square format was new to me, causing
me to think a lot more about composition, and without a light
meter, I forced me to slow down and work on my shots more
carefully.

Another possibility.  Attend a camera fair and buy an old but working
light meter.  I have several Weston models, none of which need batteries
to operate!   I keep one in each of my several camera bags.
