Default Re: Vintage film cameras

A timely question following JR's post above - where are you getting your processing done? Have uncovered Lady Poppy's Pentax P30t which is in clean and working order after a good ten years in a cupboard. Fresh batteries in and the light meter seems happy and there is no sign of gunge, oil or fungus in the kit 22-80 lens. Getting film is no issue but I was hoping to put a roll of b+w through it to make sure it is still light proof but Jessops send it away and quote 2 weeks turnaround, and the postal services (develop and scan) seem very expensive. C41 colour processing from Jessops is not much cheaper it seems. I'm not intending to set up a darkroom so what do you guys do?
