NYC Film Lab

100/10 - NYC Film Lab is my go to lab, they truly care about their customers. They take the time to answer all of my questions and truly provide an amazing experience. I receive my scans ahead of their projected timeframe. Let me not forget to mention that my scans come out on point. You can never go wrong trusting them.

my favorite place to develop film in Brooklyn! friendly staff and the price is worth it for the scans. even the basic jpeg option is very crisp and beautiful

I swear by this lab; I recommend NYC Film Lab to everyone that asks about my work. I love them! Even though I'm only a hobby photographer they take me seriously and understand what I need. I think at this point I've sent them a few hundred rolls and I can honestly say they have a perfect track record. They're exactly what I need in terms of quality and speed. Their TIF scans are also phenomenal. I recommend going that route; spend a little more and get TIF scans. I find myself editing this review multiple times because I can't express how good they are compared to other labs in the area. They're also the first to offer ECN-2 processing in NYC so if you want to shoot some real cine film, go to them. They know what they're doing and even offer pull and push services for ECN-2 if you have multiple rolls.

I absolutely love this establishment. NYC Film Lab is efficient and professional. I was able to get my film processed and digitized within an hour at such a great cost. I cannot use the word cheap because this place is anything but "cheap"... compared to other places I've been, this is the best in Brooklyn and all of NYC. I'll be back soon! They developed me ISO200 35mm in such a great way! I was worried that the fogginess and firework smoke from Chinese New Year would not get me a good picture... thank you guys.

To me, a film lab should provide a feeling of safety—a place where people have so much experience that no matter the problem, they know the cause and the solution. With a professional approach to film, there are many variables, and the only way through is with clarity. I have been using NYC Film Lab as my main lab because of their familiarity with the ECN2 process and supply of Silbersalz film, while being very reasonable price. I have processed about 50 rolls now with NYC Film Lab, and some came back with results that I wasn’t expecting. I am happy to report that together with the lab, I was able to look at the film strips and figure out which film was actually expired or damaged, or which could be improved with a re-scan. While our relationship is only starting, It’s already very fruitful. Looking forward to our further collaboration! FYI: - X-large TIFFs are full scans from the Noritsu scanner, which are 16-bit and around 6k resolution. - Pro Camera Scans are DSLR scans that are even larger, with around 12k resolution and 12-bit, but with overscans that you will have to crop. Scans attached are unedited 35mm scans from the Noritsu in ECN2, C41, and B&W. The white border is ECN2 on Pro Camera Scans.

I'm quite new to film photography but I was extremely impressed with the scans, which are noticeably higher quality than the ones I got at my previous go-to lab. Also, the turnaround time is insane! Dropped my film off and got an email that the scans were ready as soon as I got home an hour later. Will absolutely return

Been developing films here for a while. They’re staff are pros and quality + speed of scans are👌

Great Lab! Amazing service and pretty friendly staff. Delivered five medium format rolls, asking (and paid) for an immediate rush fee, and I had extra large scans in 3 hours, with perfect results. Also great price...! I highly recommend it.

I needed a roll of film developed that was in my drawer for years. The associate who checked me out was very kind and calm in demeanor. She was also able to give me some advice on which new film to buy. I chose standard developing time and before 24 hours, I got an email saying my film was ready. It occurred to me that I also wanted digital scans, so I called them and was able to purchase a scan through a link and received the scans later that day. I love the seamless online technology for my analog ways. They saved me an extra in-person visit and I appreciate that. Would definitely use their services again!

I specifically went to drop my film off in person to make sure I was selecting the correct sizing for scanning. I told the worker the minimum size I needed the scans for printing and she assured me it was correct. I got the scans back and they are some of the worst quality scans I've ever encountered. There were scratches, marks, and the color correction was horrible. The whites were green. They are not large enough in size to print at what I needed. They also shipped my film back to me unsleeved and charged me a "non sleeve" fee per roll. The film negatives have scratches from being shipped raw in a card board box. I should've stuck with my regular film lab, but was trying to save a few bucks. Not worth it. I would not use for any professional job.

The best film lab in town It happened sometimes that I double check my photos cuz its hard to tell is digital or film. The quality is insane

Highly recommended lab in New York. I've worked with plenty of labs around the area and this one takes the cake. Great staff and wonderful care for my film. Been using them for some time now and they always finish on time and or sooner.

I've tried what feels like every film lab in NYC and Brooklyn and they've all disappointed me. but omg this is the one. sent them some reference photos to give them an idea of my style and they NAILED IT. For once my film photos are ready for the client straight from the lab. If you're a professional photographer who wants quick turnaround time and techs who listen to what you want, this is the lab for you.

Do not use NYC Film Lab if you care about your negatives! They recently "lost" four rolls of my film they had developed and scanned. They are very disorganized in how the store negatives, so I'd only use them with film I don't care about.
