What film developing is offered at PhotoLounge?

We offer processing of all color film known as C41 and all Black and White types of film. This includes processing and developing 35mm film and 120 film, as well as disposable camera developing.

How do I get film to PhotoLounge?

We offer 4 ways to get film to our photo lab: contactless pick up in Philly, drop box at our Center City location, Mobilab film boxes, and send in by mail. We make film developing by mail easy with a prepaid shipping label!

How does the film pick up service work?

If you live most anywhere in Philly (or nearby), simply select the “send a courier option” when ordering film for processing. Depending on our route that week, you’ll receive at least one pick up time option that week. Our own courier will get your film from you and bring it back to the lab that day. It’s easy and convenient, and as a service to the community during Covid, also free.
