Justin, Just to complete the post above, you should know this film takes conventional development, as it's not really so IR sensitive. Any lab should take it at normal expenses. Good luck.

Justin, ILFORD SFX 200 is a standard black and white film, with increase red sensitivity. It can be developed in any ordinary black and white developer. It CANNOT be processed in C-41! Unlike Kodak High Speed Infrared, ILFORD SFX 200 can be processed in processors that use infrared sensors without risk of fogging.

If your local photo store does not handle black and white, and you do not wish to process it yourself, look in the yellow pages under "Photography-Custom Processing" or some similar heading.
