What customers say
I'm Still Developing is a fantastic photography store in National City that offers a range of services as a film lab, art gallery, and photo studio. They specialize in developing 35mm film and even handle disposable cameras. Their hours are convenient, opening from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
For the first time, I dropped off my roll at 11 a.m. and got my high-quality photos back by 12:30 p.m. — just as fast as I used to develop them in my hometown, Vietnam. I haven't been able to find any other labs like this. The staff were very nice and welcoming.
My go to place for all of my film needs. The owners are so kind! I feel like I am walking into a friends house when I walk inside of I'm Still Developing. My film scans are AMAZING! Better than any other lab I have been too. I can't wait to send all of my film here! Thank you I'm Still Developing!!!!
What a cool shop. They were able to help troubleshoot an issue we were having with our film camera, which required a quick repair and some test photos (plus developing & scanning them) all in the span of an hour. Awesome owners and fair prices. We will be back!
