What customers say
J is friendly, knowledgable, and develops film super quickly! I highly recommend Mayfield Photo Lab for buying and developing film! I don't know why the previous reviewer left one star. Business owners have the right to make political statements. Just take your business elsewhere if you don't like what he has to say.
I brought in two disposable cameras (Fuji QuickSnap and Kodak FunSaver) and couldn’t be happier with the results. The film quality came out amazing, and everything was done within just one day! The staff were super friendly and professional throughout the whole process.
Gave my film to him as a beginner with no idea what to do and I didn’t have to do anything! Couldn’t be quicker or easier for me. helpful and friendly guy and only took half a day to develop and scan on a Saturday!!
Dude is cool and professional, and takes care of my films very well. Developed films are cut and put in a binder page, as he said, “a civilized way” 🤣. I am very happy about the result
