What customers say
Had my picture ready same day, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. And the fresh film I bought was about the same price as Amazon. Great one stop shop for a film enthusiast!
It's amazing that San Marcos has a local film development business. I'm going to enjoy dropping off my finished monthly roll and picking up a new one. The team here is super friendly and helpful. They took the time to explain how most film is developed, scanned, and printed.

I’m obsessed with San Marcos Film Lab! They get my film developed and scanned crazy fast, and the scans always look great. The team there is super helpful too—when I was having camera issues, they took the time to figure out what was wrong and even helped me get set up with a new one.
