Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
When I take my 35mm film from my Holga or Diana into Walgreens, I ask for processing only, no cutting!.

If you are shooting the full width of the Holga frame, the negative will be to wide for them to print without cropping a significant portion of your photo out!.

You might consider getting a scanner to scan your negs into your computer!. You can get a reasonably priced one from Epson, like the V500!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wal-Mart eats babies!. Please refuse them all business!. Anyway, I brought slide film to Walgreens before and they made prints out of it after creating internegatives!. After bringing them back, the guy there acknowledged it was a mistake made by a young kid and he sent them off to be done 'right'!. Of course the original positives were lost and messed up, so it didn't come out right, but I digress!

Make sure you point out what kind of film it is when you drop it off, and ask them if they do it!. If they seem unsure in the least, tell them to "Have a nice day!." Although having said all that, I'm unclear as to what you're trying to get developed! You said 35mm conversion!.!.!.So are you dropping off 35mm print/slide film or 120/220 print/slide film!? They should by all means give you prints easily enough for 35mm print film!. I wouldn't put it above them to **** it up, though!. Did I mention they eat babies!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

My daughter had her Holga 35mm conversions processed at Walgreens and put onto disk, no problem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
