With older film in particular, we cannot always promise happy outcomes but we have a very high success rate in obtaining images. (87% +) We’re truly passionate about film and what we do and you can trust us when we say that we really care about the outcome. There’s nothing nicer than the feeling of seeing images you’ve never seen before – sometimes after 40 plus years!!

We are pleased to say that discontinued films such as Kodachrome 40 film, for example, can still be processed using special chemicals. However we should say that this is not a simple or fast process so you should expect to pay a little more and wait a little longer.  It takes 13 baths for example. We can develop black & white negatives . The results are more or less a little contrasty depending on age and storage of the film. You might also need to have the inverted while digitising. We develop old Agfa-Moviechrome films and Kodak Ektachrome too. Regular 8: Fujichrome R 25 and RT 200 and specialised makes such as Pilot, Peruchrome and more – we use E6 (= colour reversal method).

The Agfa-Movie Chrome films in their blue and white boxes often result in better outcomes: light pastel colours, azure comes out bluey and blacks are more or less green. The reason is that the embedded film colour coupler weakens after 40 years. Ektachromes might become, depending on their age, ‘pastely’ or even worse very light and low in contrast generally up to completely transparent.  We develop colour films only if we have at least 4 pieces of work since the chemistry is expensive but it is enough for about eight super 8 films and it stays fresh for about 14 days.
