What customers say
I really don’t know what the bad reviews are about.. I love CRC, the lab AND the people! I’ve been coming here ever since I saw how they develop and scan my color negatives.
would go to 4.5 but alas, here we go -- CRC is fabulous with their quality of work, i've sent them some very important work for my MFA and i was head over heels about the price, speed and quality. They really nailed it.
If you’re ever in a pinch and need to get film processed FAST this is your place!! The fastest film processing / scanning in all of downtown! Get your film processed in hours NOT days ! Some places I’ve been to are double the price and will take 3 days for JUST processing.
CRC is my go to for developing film. They've got a fast turnaround, great scans and even greater customer service. Plus, you are hard pressed to find comparable prices in NYC. Definitely would recommend.
