What customers say
French tourist here! Mike took care of my negatives during my holidays in Wyoming/Montana. The scans were wonderful and he was kind enough to send the negatives back to France. So glad I found this dark room in the wild west!
I'd give 3 extra stars just for the photo of a cherished cat. He's a handsome boy. Otherwise, friendly people and good prices, very fair repair policies
I took some film to the Dark Room for the first time a couple weeks ago, and the process couldn’t have been any smoother, more professional or more personal. Michael, the owner, is a trove of knowledge and incredibly personable and friendly. And he cares about doing a good job.
Owner is a nice guy. Processing is done onsite, and a better price than the places that send out your film. Plenty of older lenses and cameras for sale. Film may cost more than online, but you know you won't be getting an expired roll and there's a good variety available.
