“Anxiously walked in the front door not know what I’d ordered or mostly what I had done with this first roll of film I’d shot since the 90s.”
What customers say
I’ve never had a disposable camera before and was really hoping to get it developed at an affordable price, with a timely turnaround, and great customer service- and this was the place. They are SO helpful in helping you decide which options to choose from and are very timely in responding to emails and calls.
I highly recommend Electra Film Lab! I dropped a roll of film off to electra on Wednesday, and had mentioned I was leaving town to go on vacation in 7 days, and didn't know if the camera I planned on taking was functioning or not.
This was my first time ever using Electra, and I must say, I’m extremely happy with how everything went! Not only were the scans really great quality, but the exporting process was super simple.
Long time photographer, first time film shooter. Anxiously walked in the front door not know what I’d ordered or mostly what I had done with this first roll of film I’d shot since the 90s. Dude at the front desk saw my fear and shifted into support mode.
