Until yesterday I had been taking 35mm and 120 rolls to Buckley's in Wilmington,
Del. I am naive, but was shocked to see an empty, closed building. I welcome
any recommendations for another local film processor. (local being northern
Delaware/Southeast Pennsylvania). They must be able to handle roll film.
thank you, Jim. p.s.- I'm really bummed about Buckley's closing.

Jim,
Right across the river (the brandywine that is) is Colourworks. They have been around almost as long as buckley's has ; but since buckley's closure they overtook their film processing (and clients). I took some 4x5 slides to them, and they came out excellent. Besides, they even list 11x14 sheet development on their price list, so how bad can they be :D .
Buckley's went out on April 1st.

Granted, the website doesn't seem to have been updated in over a year, but the contact info is still correct.

Not sure how we've missed each other up until this point, but I live in the brandywine hundered area. Gimme a shout sometime.

I just heard that the local photo retailer in my community (Beaverton, Oregon) is closing its doors for good as well. Earlier this year another had closed it doors as well.
Thank goodness for larger mail order shops.
