The prints are always amazing. The service is always amazing as well and it is super fast. My go to for film developing!
I love Film Developing Co! You guys are always very helpful and quick to develop.
Great film processing for great value. There developments always come out great! One of the best prices online. I keep coming back to them.
Quick turn around on developing, scans arrived same day they were developed. I had questions which were answered within a couple of hours. I'm pleased with the service!
Good scans but you really need to get the file sizes of your TIF scans down from 182mb each. They s/b around 30mb so there's something wrong with your setup. No way there's 182 mb of data in those files (they have notably less definition than RAW originals from another digital 36mp pixel sensor camera I use) and the fact that each is EXACTLY 182 mb tells me something is wrong - file sizes should vary with content - so your system is introducing huge amounts of useless padding - and chewing up disc space and increasing download times unnecessarily. Your regular HQ JPG files are ONE SIXTH the size.
Good turnaround, thank you.

Hey Thomas, thank you so much for the review!
I couldn't agree more, the files are huge. What you're seeing is the Noritsu HS-1800's native TIF scan at the highest resolution - these are the files as they are output by the machine, and we're not keen on processing them any further. There is some evidence out there that the TIF scans on the HS-1800 offer no further detail than JPG scans, but the viewpoint of most is TIF > JPG. With proper non-destructive editing habits and archiving, the high-res JPGs from Noritsu's arguably offer the same results at a fraction of the space.
