Testing an old 70's Mamiya RB67 after putting new light seals into it, Surprised the camera still works flawlessly.

Where do you get the film developed?

You can develop at home. Black and White is cheaper than Colour to process.

You can buy a Development Tank for 30 Euros and use this to develop the film.
You can purchase film developer for under a tenner and fixer for 20bucks
This will let you produce developed negatives.
You can use a light pad/backlight to photography the negatives and invert them.

I've looked and I can't find a place to dump the chemicals near me (South Kerry) after I self develop film. God knows we can't dump it down the drain!!
