I had a hard time figuring out how I would get my film developed because I’d never done it online before. When I put my trust into The Darkroom, I was very impressed! The process was easy! And the timing was awesome! I got my film back faster than I thought I would. 10/10 Had no issues and got everything I needed!

Been sending my film here for about 7 years now. I’ve tried all of their competitors, but I keep coming back to The Darkroom because I have found that they offer the best balance of consistency, price, and quality.

I don't think that they do. They do 135, 120, 110, 220, C-41, B&W, E-6 Slide film, and Ilford Silver Gelatin Paper, and probably few more that I didn't list.

Sorry, we don't, but please don’t misunderstand. We know the decision to omit phone support is unusual, but after experimenting with different approaches, we’ve found that starting with email enables us to provide the fastest response. We focus on providing fast and high-quality responses by email with our qualified lab techs... so you’re always talking to a knowledgeable human that can help first-hand. Also, we will call you if things are not clear, this way avoiding the back and forth emails.
