★★★★★ — Elinor, 2020-09

I am in New York for only a few days and didn’t realize they were closed on the weekend. They were very nice and able to process my film for pickup later in the day. Also, very fair prices and they seem to know their stuff. Will be my go to developer if I need to develop film in New York.

★★★★★ — Caleb, 2024-05

Quick and reasonably priced film developing, scanning, and printing service near midtown! I dropped my films off at the end of a Monday and it was ready by Wednesday. There is a discount if you pay ahead and I believe there is also a student discount.

★★★★★ — Haneul, 2022-10

The best film lab in New York and certainly one of the best in the world. I’ve been going to LTI for nearly twenty years and the prices and quality have remained consistently great. Highest recommendation.
