What customers say
It’s my first time developing film so I didn’t know how to work my film camera and what to check off on the box’s when getting it developed but the lady was super sweet and helpful. She was willing to help me rewind my film and told me what each box meant on the sheet I was filling out.
You get what you pay for. Fromex charges more for film processing than Costco but they always do a great job. I never see any scratches on my negatives from Fromex like I did from Costco. The staff at Fromex is courteous and are always willing to work around my schedule. I highly recommend them.
I just had a great experience with Fromex. I had them take several family 8 MM films put onto a thumb drive. They came out fantastic. Now I don't have to worry about losing my family memories. Their service was amazing. If you have any photo or video needs Fromex is the company to take care of you.
If you want one of the most professional photo labs and printing locations in Southern California you found it with Fromex. When I was working exclusively with film they were amazing. I could even bring bear film to them and they were able to process it. No problem, you just have to let them know.
