Temporary Service Advisories:

We want to keep you in the loop about some temporary changes happening at The Darkroom.

We truly appreciate your patience as we navigate the high demand for film processing and ongoing supply chain issues with Kodak, FujiFilm, and Ilford. We’re working hard to make things run smoothly for everyone.  Product availability has significantly improved over the past several months.

We now support local drop off at our San Clemente, CA lab.  Here is how to use it.

Thank you so much for being part of The Darkroom community and keeping us busy! We love to see the widespread love for film continue to grow and thrive.
