How it works

Dropping off film

  1. Bring the roll to the counter, Tuesday to Saturday, 11am to 7pm. Fill in one envelope per roll.
  2. Say color or black-and-white, the size, and any change in speed.
  3. We develop color rolls on Tuesdays and Fridays and black-and-white by hand through the week.
  4. Scans arrive by email link. Negatives wait at the counter, sleeved, for thirty days.

Booking a session

  1. Take the orientation once. It is held Tuesdays at 6pm and Saturdays at 10am.
  2. Ask for a session: Tuesday to Friday 4pm–7pm or 7pm–10pm, weekends from 10am in three-hour blocks.
  3. Sign in at the counter. Gloves and aprons are by the sink.
  4. Leave the last twenty minutes to clean your trays. Prints dry on the racks and are ready the next day.

Questions at the counter

Do I need to bring chemistry?

No. We mix it fresh each week and it is included in the session price. Gloves and aprons are by the sink.

Can you develop a very old roll?

Usually, yes. Bring it in and we’ll look at it with you. Old film can come out faint, so we develop it by hand and tell you what we see.

Ready to print your own?

Book an orientation, then a session at a station of your own.
