I am coming back to my Rolleiflex but can no longer do my own

darkroom work due to chemical fumes.

So far I am limited to shooting 35mm using Rolleikin2, because all

the consumer type labs do not handle 120 film.

Does anyone know of a lab in the Seattle area (or mail order) that

develope 120 color film AND digitize the images?

I use Ofoto and Shutterfly for my 35mm work, but they do not accept

120 film.

Appreciate any advice or comments.

All these answers are good answers. But there is no perfect answer. I

have been baffled by the same question for years. I have an M6 TTL

with collapsible 50mm and an ASPH 35mm, both quite small but still

weighs like a brick in any pocket. And I don't want to be bothered

with a flash. So, I have tried a Rollie 35, an old Minox 35 (no

flash), a Pentax UC-1, and a cheap Fuji with dual focus lens as

a "second" camera. Image quality of the Minox is best but has no

rangefinder and only a detachable flash almost 2/3 the size of the

little camera. The Rollei tears the end of the film strip as it keeps

winding after you have reached the last frame and is hard to load.

The Pentax is great but the auto rewind sometimes kicks in at mid

roll, giving me a half exposed roll.

My opinion is, a pocketable second camera to you Leica M should

offer, in addition to small size and ease of use, a built-in FLASH!

My current solution? A Kodak digital! Why? All the features of a

film point-and-shoot and macro focusing, and gives me digital

pictures to supplement my Leica. Also it does not give me another set

of films that would confuse me after a trip.

What does everyone think--am I crazy?
