The last time I had one developed which is getting on for a couple of years, it was around the £7-8 mark.

Our local ASDA used to develop for £2 per roll, not sure if they still do it or not - I've never had any done there myself. The only drawback is the staff are usually not experienced mini lab operators, so quality control might not be very good. Obviously this depends upon the staff in your nearest store.

If you're after top results, I'd recommend a proper pro lab.

Have a look at AG Photographic their charges are very reasonable.

I take it by your comments that you weren't very impressed by the service then? I was very close to trying them earlier this year, as I needed a handful of rolls of XP2 developing and I couldn't be bothered mixing up the C-41 chemicals just for a few rolls. I thought about it for a few days, then decided against letting them loose with my films. Even though there was nothing hugely important on the films, I though it was worth a little effort on my part as I'd be gutted if the films came back with dust and scratches on.

I don't think we've got anywhere in town that does developing anymore, hence why I just end up developing my own. Takes a bit longer, but I've got no-one except myself to blame when the films are covered in dust and crap!

I'd agree about ag-photolab. Good service and spotless negs, quick turnaround and reasonable prices. I once had a roll done at Asda in Manchester - I think someone must have cleaned the floor with the negs to get them dry!!

I use Snappy Snaps in Lincoln and they charge me £5.00 to develop and scan to CD. They have three prices depending on how long you want to wait - £5.00 is giving them three days - it costs £8.00 for next day and more for i hour.
