What customers say
The Eau Claire area is so lucky to have a place like this. I take film photos and the processing time for them to get it developed and uploaded to Dropbox is so so so fast. A day at the absolute most, and most of the time it’s within 6 hours.
The absolute BEST place to get your film developed. As a photographer I am so thankful to have a local store to take my film to. They are always helpful & knowledgeable. I usually get my 35mm film developed here, but I have also had old school VHS tapes digitized for my Father in Law and those turned out great!
Years ago, I took all my film here to be developed. I don't like digital cameras (too complicated) but with those, I could make my own prints. I took some transparencies in today and was happy to see that they develop film and had several different types, Fujifilm being one of my favorites.
Slightly more expensive than other places but totally worth it. Dropped off a disposable camera and they had digital copies in my inbox in less than an hour and I picked up my prints 45 minutes after I got my digital copies.
