I can not recommend this lab enough! Quick turnaround time and really beautifully developed and scanned, all for a totally reasonable price. I stopped here on a work trip to have some 120 processed and I can safely say I will be shipping all my future rolls to them. (And be sure to give Larry the cat some love if you pay them a visit in-person!)

The time to get my scans was pretty quick and the scans themselves looked nice, but it's been three weeks since then and my negatives haven't even been shipped yet. I had TEN exposures, so cutting, sleeving, and packaging should take a matter of minutes. At this point I'm kinda expecting that I won't be getting them back. Every other company I've used to develop film has taken a day or two tops to ship out the negatives so I don't think it's unrealistic to have them heading my way within a week of getting scans.

They are somehow the cheapest, the fastest, and the highest quality film lab I've found, all at once. Regularly 1-2 day turnarounds, ultra high-res scans included, genuinely great service and personal touch on every roll. And of course, Larry the cat. Can't recommend enough.

Best Dev and scan lab in California. Sent in 7 rolls and got they developed and scanned within 24 hours of them receiving the package in the mail. Provided High Res Tiffs unlike The Darkroom and their customer service was great. Will be sending all my rolls to them as long as I live in California.
