How to decide if this lab fits your roll
- Compare the bundled scan price, not just develop-only pricing, because delivered scan cost is what most film shooters actually pay.
- Mail-in is marked as accepted, so it may work even if you are outside the immediate neighbourhood.
- E-6 support is flagged; slide-film shooters should still confirm current E-6 schedule before ordering.
- 120 medium-format support is flagged, useful if you shoot roll film beyond 35mm.
