Very fast turnaround
Very fast turnaround, with price cheaper than other competitors.
Although sometimes I think the pricing is a bit weird (Fuji scan is more much more expensive, push/pull and cut into strip require additional charge etc), but still a very nice lab.

Had a great experience here
Had a great experience here — the film developing quality is excellent, the colours were true to the original and very clean. The turnaround time was surprisingly fast too, much quicker than I expected. Highly recommend for anyone looking for reliable and professional film processing.

Great service, friendly and helpful staff
I've been using 21Studio Photolab for the last 6 months after a search for a more reasonable price for film processing.
I can't recommend them enough, fantastic quality dev and scans with super friendly service (thank you Fei and everyone). Also generally they exceed the estimated processing time and the price is very reasonable.

Couldn’t be happier
After forking over £16 for every roll i want developed to come back with average at best scans i went on the hunt for a place i could drop off to instead of ship.
Pricing is incredibly good, film scans look great, staff are lovely, and I got my scans back after only about 4 hours after paying for the 3-5 days option. Not sure if photo correction and rotation is an option but it’s such a minute issue it doesn’t matter for the price
