What's the difference between C-41, E-6, and B&W processing?
These are the three main chemical processes used to develop film, and each produces a different type of image:
C-41 (Color Negative):
C-41 (Color Negative):
- The most common film process — used by Portra, Gold, Ektar, etc.
- Produces negatives that are inverted and orange-masked
- Very forgiving of exposure mistakes (±2 stops)
- Fast, affordable processing
- Used by Provia, Velvia, and Ektachrome
- Produces positive transparencies — what you see is the final image
- Extremely vivid, saturated colors
- Requires precise exposure (less forgiving)
- Used by HP5, Tri-X, T-Max, Delta, etc.
- Produces monochrome negatives with rich tonal range
- Very forgiving and pushable to higher ISOs
- Timeless aesthetic for portraits, street, and documentary
What does ISO mean and which should I choose?
ISO (also called film speed or ASA) measures how sensitive the film is to light. Higher ISO = more sensitive = better in low light, but with more grain.
Common ISO Ratings:
Common ISO Ratings:
- ISO 50–100: Fine grain, sharpest detail. Best in bright sunlight, studio, or tripod work. (Ektar 100, Velvia 50)
- ISO 200: Good all-around daylight film with moderate grain. (Kodak Gold 200, ColorPlus 200)
- ISO 400: The most versatile — works indoors and outdoors. Slight grain adds character. (Portra 400, HP5, Tri-X)
- ISO 800+: Best for low light, events, night photography. More visible grain. (Portra 800, CineStill 800T)
Can you develop expired film?
Yes! We develop expired film regularly and our scanning team knows how to get the best results from aged emulsions.
What to know about expired film:
Have expired film? Send it to us — we'll take care of it.
What to know about expired film:
- Color shifts, increased grain, and lower contrast are normal and often desirable
- Film stored in cool/cold conditions ages much better than heat-exposed film
- A general rule: overexpose by 1 stop per decade of expiration
- B&W film ages more gracefully than color film
- Slide film (E-6) is the most sensitive to age — expect more dramatic shifts

What film formats do you accept (35mm, 120)?
We develop and scan the two most popular film formats:
35mm Film:
Browse our Film Stock Guide to see which stocks are available in each format.
35mm Film:
- The most common format — used in SLRs, rangefinders, and point-and-shoots
- 24x36mm frame size, 24 or 36 exposures per roll
- Comes in canisters with a DX code for automatic ISO detection
- We also accept half-frame 35mm (18x24mm)
- Larger frame size for higher resolution and smoother grain
- Used in cameras like Hasselblad, Mamiya, Pentax 67, Holga
- Frame sizes vary: 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9 depending on camera
- Backed with paper — no canister
