What customers say
I’m so happy to find these guys!!! Super friendly and professional. I was amazed when they told me that it takes about 40 min to develop my film. In Russia it took more than 2 weeks! So I have some experience and know what I’m talking about.
Dropped off 4 rolls of film 10 minutes before they closed and got them the next morning! Pics came out great
Ok, 10/10 experience each and every time I bring my sacred film to Cardinal. I dropped my film off at 3:06 and by 3:31 it was uploaded and ready for me to view. Mind BLOWN. I’ve never experienced such amazing and quick service with my film. They make me want to shoot more and more and more.
Amazing! I got my rolls developed here, they came out great with really good quality. Also customer service is amazing, I was in Miami only for 8 days around Christmas and wanted to get my negatives back, however the store was closed (NYE) when I was leaving.
