The quality and speed is unmatched! Prices are good and will be coming back for years to come. Thanks!
I cannot recommend this film lab enough!!! I mail in my film and the turnaround time is INSANE. My last roll was delivered in the morning and I had my scans in my inbox that SAME afternoon… like what?! 🤯
The quality is always so good, prices are solid, and I love that they sell film too. So fast, so reliable, so worth it. I’m never going anywhere else.
Reliable, affordable, and always fast!
this was old film that was developed. Came out better than I expected.
For the ballot perfectly fine I love the speed of processing the files and how well they communicate with people however, when I paid I pay for for development then I got a six dollars charge again because of a black-and-white film but when I look online, he didn’t say I have to pay extra. It was a little confusing, but everything else was fine.
FAQs
How does the mail-in process for film developing work?
Place your order online, print your order confirmation, and mail your film to our lab. Once it arrives, we process, scan, and upload your images. Your negatives are then shipped back to you.
What types of film do you develop?
We process Color C41 and Black and White film in the following formats:
- 35mm
- Single use or disposable cameras
- 120 and 220 medium format
- APS Advantix
We do not process:
- E6 slide film
- ECN2 or motion picture film
- 116, 127, 126, 828, or 110 formats
How much does film developing cost?
Developing and scanning start at $10 per roll. Pricing varies based on scan resolution, TIFF upgrades, push processing, and print add ons. Full pricing is available on the detailed services page.
How long does film developing take?
After your film arrives at our lab:
Color C41: typically 1 to 2 business days
Black and White: typically 1 to 5 business days due to hand processing
Shipping time is separate from lab processing time.
What if my film turns out blank?
Film that is completely blank after processing (i.e. no discernable exposures) will incur baseline develop-only charges of $7 for C-41 and $13 for Black & White, since each roll requires time, chemistry, and labor. Additional service requests (scans/prints) for the related roll will be refunded.
Shipping will not be refunded on blank roll orders, your negatives will still be returned.
Can you develop damaged, wet, or souped film?
Film showing moisture, water exposure, or prior chemical alteration may be refused to prevent contamination of lab chemistry and equipment. If received, you will be notified and given return options.
What additional options are available, such as photo prints or gifts?
You can add photo prints, high resolution scans, TIFF files, and uncut negatives.
Our sister company, Sharp Prints, offers photo gifts, such as canvases, metal prints, and bulk photo printing.
Are color, contrast, and density corrections included, or can I opt out?
We do not color correct. Our goal is to keep scans true to the original film stock and preserve the natural color characteristics of the emulsion.
In cases where film is expired and shows extreme color shifting, we may apply light correction to produce a usable image. For overexposed or underexposed frames, we adjust density as needed so the image is visible and properly balanced.
We do not offer full custom color grading, but we aim for clean, accurate scans that reflect how the film was shot.
What equipment or processing methods are used for developing black and white film?
Black and White film is hand developed in house using controlled chemistry and temperature monitored processes. Each roll is individually processed for consistent results.
How can I pay for mail in film developing, and are forms or mailers provided?
Orders are paid online at checkout. After ordering, you receive a confirmation to include in your package. Customers are responsible for packaging and mailing their film securely to our lab.
How long do prints take to produce and ship?
Print production time depends on quantity and size. Most standard print orders are completed within a few business days after your scans are finalized, then shipped based on your selected delivery method.
