Film Processing

Disposable Camera Developing

Description

We develop disposable cameras with the same care and quality as standard film rolls. Whether it’s color or black and white, we carefully process, scan, and deliver your images digitally—plus you can add prints or have your negatives returned. Just drop it off or mail it in, and we’ll take care of the rest.

ⓘ ×Push-processing means the film gets less light than the ISO number would suggest (i.e. nighttime shots), and thus needs a longer exposure time. Pull-processing is used in particularly bright or sunny situations and requires less exposure time.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! Expired film can still be developed, and sometimes it creates beautiful, unpredictable results—like color shifts, grain, or fogging. That said, how well it turns out depends on how the film was stored and how old it is. If you're unsure, send it in. We’re always happy to scan whatever we can get from the roll.

  • We process 35mm, 120, and 110 film in color (C-41), black & white, and E-6 slide film. Just shoot, drop off or send, and we’ll take care of the rest.

  • Yes! For no extra charge, we will cut and sleeve your negatives for you to pick up or send them back to you. There is also the option of keeping your negatives uncut in one long sleeve.

  • If your roll comes back blank, we’ll let you know right away. While we can’t refund the development process—since the chemistry and labor are still used—we’re happy to refund the cost of the scanning.

  • Common causes of blank rolls include:

    • Expired or damaged film
    • Underexposure (especially in low light without flash)
    • Film loading issues
    • Camera malfunctions (e.g. sticky shutter, film advance problems, flash sync issues)
    • Severe light leaks
    • Shooting in low light with a single-use camera without firing the flash
