How it works
1. Post it, or bring it in
Order online and post your film from anywhere in the UK by Royal Mail Tracked 48. In Norwich? Skip the website and bring it to the lab, or use the Drop Box by the door when we’re closed.
2. Developed here in Norwich
We develop every roll ourselves, here in the lab. Nothing gets sent away, apart from black & white.
3. Checked by hand, scans emailed
Every frame is checked and corrected by hand. Within 48 hours of your film arriving, you get a link to your own download page.
