What customers say
I went in here a few days ago with my daughter, who was developing and getting scans from a disposable camera. The staff was incredibly helpful, engaging, and patient. The conversation turned into nostalgia for old film cameras, and a worker there pulled out a vintage Polaroid.
I have been bringing my rolls of 135 here for develope and scan services for about 5 years now. I have always been grateful and happy with the quality of the scans that I receive. As an oakland native this is my go to spot!
I feel incredibly lucky to live close to one of the few brick and mortar photo shops in the bay. Truly a gem. I get all of my developing done here. Sometimes I have one shot left on a roll of film so I take a picture of the front of the place.
First time using a film camera and went here to get two rolls developed. I received my scans earlier than promised and within 24 hours (!!). Due to user error, only a few pictures were successful and I reached out to them to confirm.
