What customers say
Great place to buy, develop, scan, and print film. High quality and the best in the bay! Was able to get some of my scans same day as well.
I found Royal We when I was looking to establish a relationship with a local film processing company for my professional family, newborn and maternity sessions. I’d just switched to shooting all 35mm film. I searched in the Bay Area, as well as up and down California, browsing business after business.
Best Dev and scan lab in California. Sent in 7 rolls and got they developed and scanned within 24 hours of them receiving the package in the mail. Provided High Res Tiffs unlike The Darkroom and their customer service was great. Will be sending all my rolls to them as long as I live in California.
They are somehow the cheapest, the fastest, and the highest quality film lab I've found, all at once. Regularly 1-2 day turnarounds, ultra high-res scans included, genuinely great service and personal touch on every roll. And of course, Larry the cat. Can't recommend enough.
