The Darkroom Difference

We don’t just process; we perfect. Our technicians carefully inspect your film and manually adjust color, contrast, and density for each frame. We treat every roll as if it were our own.

Production Timeline

Once the film is received in our lab, we develop, scan, and upload to your account in 1-3 days for standard 35mm and 120 films (see exceptions below).

Shipping Info

Located in Southern California, mail reaches us in 2-5 days from almost anywhere in the US. Negatives are returned with optional prints or USB.

Format Exceptions & Special Orders

While standard 35mm and 120 film follows the timelines above, special formats require manual handling and extra time.

Manual Scanning Required

The following formats take several extra days due to manual scanning processes:

  • APS / Advantix Film
  • 110 and 126 Film Formats
  • Mini-Diana’s & Panoramic Formats
  • Sprocket hole rolls
  • Damaged film (torn sprockets, uneven frames)
