Please point me in the right direction for 'Lomography'

[RegexReader]

For a combination of reasons, I'm getting back into film photography after a 20+ year hiatus. Just got a Holga 120 and a Weston WX-7 for dirt cheap. The 'Lomography' cameras appeal to me since I may be laid off soon and don't want to drop major $$$ into something that I cannot eat should I get 'walked out'.

What I'm looking for is if there are developers that still have a service where you mail in your negatives for processing. Any that are reputable out there? When I had my last camera, these developers were cheaper than the local specialty store. Figured that some in this group would be customers and give me some pointers on who to use/those to avoid.


Thanks for the help!

1. It's getting harder to get film developed these days

There are plenty of places that will do it, but they tend to cater to the higher end market, which is not necessarily what you want with lomography. If someone scratches one of your negatives or the color or contrast is off, it really doesn't matter all that much, so it's not as if you really need high end service.

If I were in this situation, I'd probably use Dwaye's. The downside is they don't scan to a high enough resolution to make any sort of high quality large print. However, you can always use them for evaluation and then send your negatives off to someone else if you want them scanned higher or a traditional print made.
