Can I get film developed same day in Buffalo?

Yes — 2 labs here offer same-day service, almost always for color (C-41) film. Drop off early and call first, because same-day depends on the day's processing schedule.

Does same-day cost more?

Sometimes. A lab that runs C-41 in-house may include same-day at no premium; others add a rush fee of about $10–15 per roll. Ask when you drop off whether same-day is standard or a paid upgrade.

What about black and white or slide film?

Those are hand-processed and batched, so they are rarely same-day even at a lab that offers fast color. If you need speed, shoot C-41 color, or plan for a longer wait on B&W and E-6.
