What customers say
$46 for 48hr turnaround on a single 35mm roll? I'm visiting for a short time so called to ask about a rush job of a single roll, and the quote I got was $46. Honestly I was shocked. I feel like I should still be positive about the fact there's a lab running in 2023.
Panda has done great work for me for 10 years now.. I shoot mostly color negative film in the 35mm and 120 formats, but sometimes color positive and black and white films. They do a great job of processing, scanning and burning to disc or any memory device I want. I've had a few large prints done at the lab.
Develop and scan done right - friendly shop putting out quality work in Queen Anne - worth the drive from pretty much anywhere in metro Seattle area as far as I’m concerned. Usually have a very sold and well priced selection of film available to purchase as well so nice to knock off a couple errands in one trip.
Went in to develop two 35mm film rolls. The price (~$18/roll) was a bit high when compared to other options in the Seattle Area. The turnaround time (~two weeks) is a bit longer than other places. This might have been since they were really busy during the time I came in.
