Korea Film Developing

[bibimbap]

Next month I'll be in Korea for 4 weeks... where my daughter will be born!
I intend to shoot a lot of film with the M2, 50 & 35 Summicrons.
My goal is to process all that film (no prints) while in Korea (Seoul, Bundang) to bypass any worries about airport xrays, etc. Scan and make prints in the US after we return.
So...
Thanks in advance to anyone on the list who can reccommend reliable, consistent lab for processing. Advice on which labs to avoid is equally appreciated.

There are lots of professional photography related shops around Chungmuro Station (subway line no.3) in Seoul. Surprisingly, I saw an unexpected amount of Rolleiflex TLRs in the best conditions I've ever seen...

I'll second that--Chunmurro's "Camera Town" is the very best place. Also go to the "Camera Museum Cafe" in the same area--you'll love it!

Bill, I remember I PMed you about this same issue before going to Korea, in December last year. It may be a little bit too late but, thanks a lot for the tip!
I'm looking forward to going back to Seoul in December... I loved the city.

Mike:

I remember you. Have a great time and watch out for those cute little princesses--they'll take all your $$ and you won't even get a kiss.

Today I got some great images of a small anti-FTA rally in Namdaemun.
