What customers say
High quality film processing in central Iowa. DSM Film Labs is helping keep the film renaissance alive. Super high quality scans with excellent color. I ordered the PRO retouching and the shots I got back are beautiful. I'll attach a few to this review (Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400 35mm).
There's no one I trust more with my film than Logan and DSMFilmLab. His knowledge and passion of all things cameras, film and developing is extremely helpful and the customer service he and his team provide is top-tier.
I have been going through multiple generations of family photos and scanning them into my computer. But I came across some larger- sized negatives from about 1930 that I wasn't able to scan. DSM Film Lab said they would be able to help. I had no idea if they would even turn out or what sort of result there would be.
Excellent Film Lab. I get my color and B&W film developed here, and the scans are fantastic. I also get excellent customer service when I have questions and concerns. I'm a loyal customer.
