They (and any custom lab in NYC) will make your prints the way you want 
them. You can specify the paper type, surface, framing, cropping, color 
balance, printing by machine or by hand, etc.

If you want to be more adventurous, there are a few places in NYC where 
you can rent a darkroom by the day or hour. It's a very relaxing way to 
spend a day.

photo lab that will develop my film, and will make prints from it ? 
(square prints preferred, but I assume it can be a problem). The best 
solution would be traditional mail-in service (I send the film, they 
send me the prints), but of course I can drop-off the film and pick up 
the prints (Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn locations preferred).

Thanks in advance

Are they expensive ? I've just requested a price list by e-mail, but 
maybe you can tell me what is the price level there ?

Unfortunately, I have no time for that...
Thank you very much for your response.

Hi Jerry,

I've taken my 120 film to a place called Cameraland on Lexington Ave.
between 51st and 52nd on the east side of the street.
http://www.cameralandny.com/

The only problem is that they print doubles whether you want them to or not,
but the prints were fine.

I've used CLab down in the Village but they wouldn't do square prints. Last
I knew, Adorama wouldn't develop 120 film.

Hope that helps,
Amita
