What customers say
Purchased some color 35mm and developed 4 rolls here, so far so good, color is nice and they gave me exact date the files would be sent to my email. (Got the rolls in on Saturday, they promised for Monday) Worked pretty fast. Haven’t tried printing photos out yet, will be back to pick up the negatives.
My first film camera in 20 years! I have to relearn everything and I'm so glad I chose The Color House because the staff is polite and informative. Their prices are great. I was astounded at the depth and substance of the photos and Im really excited to navigate light and focus.
I love this place!! I have been developing my films with Color House for three years already and they have never messed anything up. They work extremely diligently and professionally. There are hours are very appropriate, since I get to go after work.
I have to say, I was nothing but delighted by the service and expedience the staff at the Color House showed in turning around 4 rolls in the four nights I had the honor of staying in NYC. I was able to get 3 120mm rolls + a disposable camera roll processed. They sent me scans via a link within 48 hours of drop off.
