Where can I get film developed in Richmond?

3 Richmond businesses develop film: Phototech Labs, RVA Rewind, Richmond Film Services. They are ranked below by local reputation — rating weighted by how many people reviewed them.

Which Richmond lab should I use?

Ask three things before you hand over a roll: do you develop on site, which scanner do you run, and do I get my negatives back. 1 of the 3 here is confirmed to develop in-house. A blank on a card means the lab hasn't published it, not that the answer is no.

How much does developing cost in Richmond?

Independent pricing is national in shape: about $5–12 to develop a roll of 35mm, $15–24 develop-and-scan, $16–26 for 120, and $12–20 for E-6 slide, with black & white a few dollars more. The cheapest per-roll develop price we've read off a Richmond lab's own site is $9. Drugstore counters charge more and mail your film away.
