Got some disappointing news this afternoon. Fuji Labs, (to which WalMart sends 'odd' film like B&W 120) has discontinued its develop only service. The will still develop 120 but won't return the negs, which is completely pointless. So my cost per roll has suddenly gone from $2.33 to over $10. At $1 a frame I'm going to have to think twice about pressing the shutter; and digital is looking increasingly attractive...
So this excursion into medium format, which I had foolishly thought was going to be my preferred compromise between 35mm/digital and 4x5 for the foreseeable future, may well have come to a rather sudden end.
Now I have to decide whether to sell my Mamiya equipment or keep it for its (short-lived) nostalgia value.
