Anyone working with MF cameras and medium format film? Im not currently developing and wonder what will happen if I send in my non-sexual nude photos to a lab for developing and scanning.

I used a Bronica square format camera with Ilford monochrome film in the '90s, along with my main 35mm Olympus equipment, and I developed and printed my own work. That's the way to get the best results from your film, and nobody else sees it unless you let them. When you send your film to a lab, it will be up to the lab to decide if your images are 'indecent' (the legal definition is vague in the UK). Other rules apply depending on where you live, so it's best to do it yourself.

I work in a very large photo lab and if it's not sexual or porn it'll be fine just know that about a hundred people will see it is all.
