What customers say
I've dropped off more than a dozen 35mm rolls and haven't had any issues with a single frame! Mira's great to work with, prices are very reasonable, turnaround is fast, and I don't have to worry about my film getting lost in the mail.
I love Mira's Film Lab! My film is always treated with care and extreme attention to detail. Great turnaround time with amazing prices, especially in the LA area. Highly recommend getting your film developed here!
This was my first time dropping off my first 2 rolls of film ever. Mira helped explain what I wanted and pretty good turnaround rate and communication. Will dropping off more film today!
The scans were solid! I sorta struggled with the website where you have to download the images, because as soon as I'd scroll down, it would auto scroll me right back up to where the photos started. This is annoying if you want to download photos individually.
