Film in NYC or by post

Any recommendations for buying 120 roll film in NYC (preferably Manhattan) or could someone recommend a good (quick!) online retailer (again to deliver to a Manhattan address)? I'm after 100 ASA BW roll film.

Also, any recommendations as to places to get 120 developed?

Many thanks, Kris.

You would be very close to one of the best photo stores anywhere in the USA:

I have heard Adorama does developing but have not heard any first hand experience. I am sure members for NY would be able to help more.

B&H or Adorama, depending on which is easier to get to in Manhattan, for the film. Quick, easy, though you have to talk to a salesperson to ask for film rather than grabbing some yourself.

In NY I'd say go in person, as otherwise you pay both delivery and sales tax.

The only place I tried in Manhattan for development was Duggal on 23rd st - they seem to be the cream of the crop based on online reputation... but they are rather expensive

Other top line / expensive places (I haven't used, but pros do):
Modernage, Sunshine, too many to mention. While in Manhattan, pick up a copy of Photo District News (if that's still being put out) for a comprehensive list of places... Adorama does seem to process film, B&H does not.
