Re: process partial 120 rolls

The clip test is easily done by pro labs with a "dip & dunk" processor. Call around on the phone to save time finding someone who can help.

  There is something called a "clip test" which is done with a small part of a roll to see if the exposure was right. Then if that test develops ok they develop the rest of the roll that way or they alter it as needed. I don't know about cost though. Any professional lab has the ability to do this, because professional commercial photographers need it done some times when the lighting was iffy at a shoot.

    I don't think that any lab will touch something like that. They are not set

    labs (ones that usually process 120) process many rolls at a time. If you

    of a piece of film damaging their set up and other film. Be very careful!
