What customers say
100/10! I’ve gone through NUMBEROUS developers and the quality of AFL is top tier! You can’t beat the clean scans, crisp prints, delicate handling of the negatives when being returned to you. I wish I could give a dozen more stars for their work and customer service. Keep it up guys!
best scans for the best price in the bay. he was out of town when i dropped off and i had to really shove the envelope into the drop box; it was full bc everyone knows he's the best. still got the scans back within 48 hours! incredible turn around, great communication. i <3 a film lab
As someone new to film photography, I was fortunate that my friend referred me to A Film Lab. A Film Lab has consistently developed and scanned my film quickly and with such high quality.
Got 3 rolls developed and scanned by A Film Lab and was super impressed by the quality and how they turned out! I love the concept and design of A Film Lab. You fill out a form on an envelope, insert your rolls, and just put it into their drop off slot.
