TLRs like this can be bought quite cheaply these days, and film is still being made for them. If you don't want to develop and print the pictures yourself, any Professional Photo Lab will do it (for a price, and often with a lot of intermediate steps: questions about preferred developers, paper type and grades and so on - and that's just to the proofs stage).
The 120 film is expensive, too, but quality is there by the bagful! I am almost nostalgic enough to pull my old Rollei out of mothballs...
maybe not!!!
The photo with this question is of the camera, not made with the camera... or have I missed something?

I'm afraid my comments on those was not very flattering: hope I didn't offend, especially some of the problems may have been with the way the photos translated from paper to the screen.

I'm actually planning on purchasing a medium format camera next week. I have a question for you, do you develop the film yourself? If not, where do you get it developed? I'm having trouble finding somewhere to get medium format film developed.

Did you really take that picture yourself? I have to say, you're very talented - looks really great. I'm looking for a new camera, which one would you recommend?
