What customers say
When I moved to Austin, I quickly learned of Lago Vista as friends and coworkers had only good things to say about this place. Lago Vista has become my go-to spot for film and development. The staff is friendly and you simply cannot beat a 1-hour turnaround time.
we have been using 1 hour for a few months for our 120mm wedding work. i was in austin about a year ago and visited the shop to get some 35mm done and loved the vibe. they recommended the best mexican lunch i've had in my life about a block from the austin location. scans always come out great and this is legit 1 hour.
This spot is really great! The staff is nice. They have a cool photo booth inside. You can tell they care about this business and making it here in Austin. Go support them! Shoot some film!
Happy with the efficiency and quality of the photos they developed for me. I live in the area and had been curious. Dropped off 120 color film to develop and it was digitally sent to me around 2 hours later. Photos were an experiment with a 1950s Brownie and the lab did a great job with them.
