Well priced and good quality
I was looking to move from a national chain to a company that valued quality and customer experience, and I am not disappointed.
The team responded to my questions, the price was reasonable, and I received my scans by email a week after I’d posted them. I’ll be using southsun again soon!

Unprompted review
I was recommended Southsun by a friend…
I was recommended Southsun by a friend who, like myself, avidly uses old school medium format cameras. They originally traded from North Wales, but relocated recently to the capital.
The service and quality is very professional and more importantly consistent. Great communication throughout the process.
Easy platform to navigate and order quickly.
What more can you ask for.
Highly recommended 👌.

63 million years B.C
Despite my films dating from the early Jurassic period Southsun still managed to develop them. As a consequence I now have some great pictures of some long passed friends and relatives as well as a great picture of a T-Rex playing fetch, rolling over playing dead and playfully ripping off the cameramen's head.

Professional through and through
I have been using Southsun for a while now. Firstly when they were located in Wales and also now they are located in London. Their production quality is superb - no watermarks or stains on the negatives like other companies. Their scans are of high quality. I tend to use the medium scans as I only view my pictures on the computer screen. Their pricing is very good compared to other companies. Turnaround is usually 4-5 days with the negatives coming a few days later. One last mention is that, when one of my films went missing in the post, my request for a refund was dealt with immediately. You can't go wrong with this company.
