I am taking a photography class in the city, and of course all the places given for film purchase and developing are in the city. I don't even work in the city. Can anyone provide me with the names of some relatively local places where I can buy decent film, including B&W, and also where I can get same developed? I'm on a tight timeline, so any quick advice is very much appreciated. Thanks!   Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 2879 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Friday, February 3, 2006 - 11:12 am:        Seems to me any place that sells film has "decent" film. Not sure if you have a particular criteria you are basing the term "decent" on. The photo store in Maplewood should carry it. There's also a place called Maple Photo on Springfield and S. Pierson. I'm pretty sure I purchase B&W from them at some point. I've heard good things about the quality of the developing at the camera place in Millburn, but never actually used them myself. Just recently this subject came up and it seems a lot of people--including people who really seem to know they're stuff about processing--swear by Costco. Go figure. As I mentioned, there was a thread about this very subject recently, and I know there have been others, so you might try a search of the archives.   Wendyn Supporter Username: Wendyn Post Number: 2692 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Friday, February 3, 2006 - 11:40 am:        We like ASAP photo on Main St in Millburn. Processed some excellent B&W for us.   naborly Citizen Username: Naborly Post Number: 385 Registered: 7-2001 Posted on Saturday, February 4, 2006 - 2:57 pm:        Village Camera on S.

Do you need anything special for your course which is not generally available in most places? If so, please post your requirements since this will make it easier for the rest of us to try and help you.
