Also, is it easily availible in Harrisonburg, VA, and how expensive is it?
I want to buy a Holga camera but I also want to make sure I would be able to buy film later.

These days its not very common, then again no film is with digital cameras becoming so affordable. Take a look at bhphoto, they still stock it and offer a bunch to choose from. If there is a local camera store near by they may have some otherwise they can definitely order you some. Otherwise so long as your willing to order your film online then you should have no problem. It'll be a fun camera to play with. Good Luck

Just a quick google of harrisonburg showed 2 camera repair companies and a couple of camera shops, including a custom lab. You should have absolutely no problem getting film for your Holga. I shoot 120 and 220, live in a small town and am able to find a limited variety of film locally. Medium format film isn't going anywhere for a long, long time.

The film is available via the Internet. Try http://www.bhphotovideo.com or do a search of eBay. Alkit sells film too.
In Harrisonburg,VA, if CameraWiz is still in business, you could call them and ask about local availability of 120 film. You might have to drive to another city to get the film if you want it locally.
Easiest option: order a brick of 120 film and keep what you don't use inside the freezer in the original packaging. Take it out before use and let it warm up before use.

There are tons of photo labs in Illinois that will develop and print any kind of 120 film. There's at least a dozen in and around the Chicago area, a few in Peoria, Springfield, and Rockford. There are also several labs in St. Louis.

You can buy all the Kodak, Ilford and Fuji 120 film you want on ebay. Just check the Expiration Date (most Sellers include it in the description). Keep all your film in the refrigerator and it will last a long time. For even longer storage, freeze it.

it's not commonly used but it is available at most camera or film stores. lots of the older quality cameras used that larger format, rollie rolloflex, some hassleblhads, it will be around untill they make a photo printer that lasts a hundred years and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. shoot straight.

of course you can still buy 120 roll film... any decent photography shop will stock it.. fuji, kodak and ilford make 120 film... its the same as 6x45 (yuo get more exposures coz the neg is 1,5cm smaller.
and i have a mamiya c330... you wait until you see the detail you get... you can get it at 50asa... pan F its incredible for skin tones...
25 yrs ago i shot my 2yr old daughter in the sink on pan F.. it looks victorian... and still hangs on the wall... amongst a lifetime of phtotographs...

Very uncommon now, since the digital camera age arrived. Even the biggest camera stores around the nation isn't stocking much of anything in the way of film anymore.
