FAQ
Before your shot film is safe to work with, we need to chemically process it. With process only, that is all you’re getting, the processed negative, no prints or digital scans. If you’re planning on scanning your film yourself or you just want to see if the camera is working, process only is the cheapest option.
We scan film with our AGFA D-Lab 2. The standard resolution we offer with 35mm colour film is 1500x1000px and the high resolution we offer with everything is 3000×2000 although that will change depending on the type of film and size of frame.
We guarantee to hold on to your finished film orders for at least 1 month.
No guarantee, but we can normally help. We would normally recommend leaving the film in your camera and to bring it with you to the shop.
