What customers say
TL;DR: investing in Jon Dila and his skills when it comes to developing your photos, purchasing a camera, or just learning about film cameras, was not a bad idea and i have not even thought about going anywhere else to get my next rolls developed :) I met Jon Dila in Providence on a day where i was out adventuring…
I have used iLA film lab for both B&W and color development for a year. I can comfortably say that they do a really good job developing and scanning my film; I often get my scans back within a week. Specifically, they offer scans with a border, which makes my photos more stunning! Highly recommend it!
Passion! If you want someone to develop your film with love and passion then look no further than ILA film. Jon’s love of the art of photography and film medium allows him to add a touch to film development not seen in ages.
Dropped of multiple rolls of film and couldn't be happier with the outcome! The owner is very helpful and helped me out on multiple occasions when I had issues with my film! I also really love how efficient the dropping off process is! It usually takes about 4-5 days to get film back which is also amazing.
