What customers say
Great neighborhood place to develop film. Has been there for years, google just removed the listing. can’t recommend enough, not expensive, quick turnaround.
I really love their scans. The colors look beautiful, the texture feels natural, and the overall result keeps the film feeling very well. Their turnaround time is also super fast. Really happy with the experience and would definitely come back again.
I’ve been to photo labs all around manhattan. This is the best one. Same day turnaround, always TIF scans, cheap prices, helpful and invested in your photos. No better spot to go
Sammy is so great! He helped teach us how to load a roll of film into an old film camera we just got and was very patient with us. Will absolutely be coming here again!
