I wish there was a cheap, automated service where I could post rolls of film for developing, and would get high quality scanned TIFF download links in my email a couple of days later, with the developed negative/prints returned as an optional extra. I think most of the time I would just want the scans though.
I love shooting film but it is expensive, and slow.
- lightedman 10y agoUsed to be you could take a roll of film to a kiosk at a grocery store, toss in a CF card, and you'd get scanned and processed digital negatives right to the card immediately. Of course, once film went away for the most part, so did those kiosks.
- plg 10y agoDunno if it qualifies as cheap or as automated, but Indie Film Lab is awesome: http://indiefilmlab.com http://indiefilmlab.com Mail them your film and they send you a link to d/l the scans, with option to return your negs
- nathancahill 10y agoSecond Indie Film Lab as being awesome. About as close to "automated" as you can get.

I've had good experiences at Luster in NYC[1] [1] https://www.google.com/maps/place/Luster+Photo+%26+Digital+Inc/@40.726912,-73.9826379,19z/data=!4m8!1m2!3m1!2sLuster+Photo+%26+Digital+Inc!3m4!1s0x0:0x7f33c8feabaf7580!8m2!3d40.7264889!4d-73.9833847 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Luster+Photo+%26+Digital+I...
- skeletonjelly 10y agoThere's a place near me that I'm about to try that does exactly that plus they have dropboxes in city areas http://hillvale.com.au/dropbox-locations http://hillvale.com.au/dropbox-locations They don't print, you just get an option of paying more for hi-res scans (though from the look of it, 5444px x 3649px .JPG @ 72 P.P.I for 35mm film)
