  • Rated 5 out of 5

    Ordered their 'Develop and Scan Disposable' with standard cut and sleeve on the film, physical and digital scans through the holidays and they got back relatively fast!
    Picture scans came back nearly perfect with some over/under exposed shots from my end.
    Ended up ordering another recently, can't wait to see it!
    Love doing business with local Florida stores, can't wait to continue with all my future films.

    I came across this place while looking online for indie film development stores rather than going to your local walmart/cvs. They did a great job with keeping me up-to-date with processing. Getting your film back is like Christmas morning. Every picture came out great & it’s definitely worthwhile choosing this business to develop your pics!

    Pro level scans are a default with coastal. Clear quality difference in the scans compared to other labs.

First time? Quick answers

Who can use the first-order discount?

Anyone who hasn't ordered film processing from us. It takes $20 off $50 or more of processing, once per customer, and doesn't cover shipping or add-ons. The cards at the top of this page add the code for you.

What film can you develop?

C-41 color and black & white, from 35mm and disposables to 120, 110 and APS. We no longer process E-6 or ECN-2.

How should I pack it?

Rolls in a sealed Ziploc, then a padded mailer or small box, not a paper envelope. Put a slip with your name and order number inside.

Do I get my negatives back?

If you want them. When you order, choose rolled up (free), standard sleeves ($1) or archival sleeves ($3) for each roll. Or choose discard and skip return shipping.

How long does it take?

The average at the top of this page is live, counted in calendar days (weekends included) from when we check in your film. Add the time your package spends in the mail each way.

What if my film gets lost in the mail?

It's rare. If your film never reaches us, we refund your order in full, including the label. We can't replace the film itself, so pack carefully and keep your tracking number.

Got a few rolls lying around?

Send three and take $20 off your first order.
