What customers say
I started shooting B&W film again. I needed a great lab for developing and scanning the film. I wanted someone local, NJ/NY so I could go there if needed. I found the lab I really like with ProLab. They develop the film with the option of Push/Pull, a feature that I use.
I’m an amateur photographer that uses the medium as a hobby. i’m not too technical and just shoot with a pentax point and shoot. Leslie is always attentive and gives a great turn around. I’ve been coming here since i picked up the hobby 3 years ago and wouldnt consider going anywhere else.
My wife found Pro-Lab online. It's in the Athenia section of Clifton, just off Van Houten Avenue, not far from City Hall. My wife wanted some 35 millimeter slides of her childhood printed for her siblings, and having pictures of both of us with Santa Claus taken when we were children restored.
Pro Lab is hands down the best! I cannot recommend them enough! I’ve been developing all my film with them for the past two years and have never once looked back. Their consistency and quality are unmatched. Leslie is always incredibly helpful and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is done right.
