Listing evidence
We do not infer missing prices or services. Unknown fields are shown as unconfirmed so photographers can verify directly before dropping off or mailing film.
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.
