Please recommend a place where I can get some 4x5 and 220 film processed. I would mail the film in. Thanks.

What is film again? Remind me?

I also would like to know of a place that develops Fuji Neopan Arcos Film in house. I have had trouble finding somewhere that doesn't have to send it out. Affordable film scanning would be an added bonus!

I used to use Carl's Darkroom in Albuquerque. They've moved. Try this link: www.digi-graphics.com/carls

I used to use Carl's too! I checked out both Visions and Digi-Graphics. Digi-Graphics is cheaper and I'm a cheapskate so they got the business!
BTW, I have no idea what is on the film. It's been in the freezer for several years!

Phillip,
I've been very happy with Photocraft in Boulder for E-6 4X5 and 35mm. Very good quality and good pricing at $1.55/sheet. I will use them for all my C-41 120/220 and 35mm too unless there are issues with their roll processors. They run C-41 in a roller machine, but E-6 in a dip and dunk. If the rollers aren't kept immaculately clean, they'll scratch down the length of the roll film. I'd been trying to hang on to local C-41, but I've just given up.
I have some 4X5 C-41 and the only lab that will do that in Colorado is Reed. They're a little more expensive, but there aren't many choices for 4X5 C-41.

I'm gonna wager that it has an emulsion on it.
I don't know how well it will turn out even though its been frozen. Frozen before shooting is usually fine, but frozen after shooting can result in the loss of the latent image from what I've read. Its definitely worth a shot though. I've occasionally found an old roll or two that didn't get processed and its interesting to see what was on there.

Photo Craft in Boulder, Co - that is where I get my 4x5 done.

Have you tried Visions Photo Lab in Santa Fe?
