Boutique Film Lab
Film lab 4.9 ★★★★★ 149
Film developing in Nashville, TN
5 listings in Nashville — 3 film labs, 1 camera store and 1 community darkroom. Between them: 5 develop film · 2 scan film · 1 develop B&W · 1 run E-6 slide. Ordered by local reputation: rating weighted by how many people left one.
What to expect. Here, a film lab develops film as its main business; a camera store develops in-house or through a partner lab; and a community darkroom lets you process and print your own film. 1 of these is known to return your negatives and 1 develop in-house . Prices, formats and turnaround change often, and E-6 slide, ECN-2 and large format are frequently sent out — call ahead before a special trip. Drugstores are deliberately not listed: they mail film to a central lab and usually destroy your negatives.
