What customers say
Reached before 2 PM for development + scan of 35mm film. They said I'd get the pictures in my email the very same day, and I thought it would be by evening. But I got them before it was even 3 PM, and even at the lowest resolution they offered the scans capture enough detail.
I love this place so much! The staff are all super helpful and my film scans always come out so nice. The turnover is extremely fast- if you bring your film rolls in the morning there’s a chance you’ll get the scans that afternoon. Highly recommend this place for all photos services
The gentlemen who accommodated me were so kind! They helped me put a new roll in and figure stuff out when I had trouble with it initially. This, aside from scanning and sending me all my photos within a couple of hours– they're great and I'm so looking forward to having my film developed here as I collect more…
One of the best film labs in the city. They process c-41, e6 and B&W in house as well as push and pull color film, which is something not every place does. Prices are reasonable for the area and I’ve always had my scans back the next day.
