The results are awesome! It came earlier than I thought. I dropped the film at 3ish and they sent me the results at 6:30. The owner gave me a mini tour and so helpful. As a newbie in film camera, I was totally satisfied with the service!

Easily the best place to have my film developed. Great quality work at a very fair price and fast! Nolan is very knowledgeable on film and photography as well.

Handed in medium format film that wasn’t fully returned scans were dark, missing photos and not at full resolution. Not to mention photos were ready a week after the promised fulfillment date. Several calls and texts later finally was able to pick up. Bad form. Very bad. The common complaints are valid and concerning. Not to mention several responses from said business owner on this site are in bad taste. Displaying a lack of issue ownership and accountability. Literally, nearly the entire Columbus film community has the exact same issue(s) with this place. These issues have been a consistent part of this company for years and have not been corrected.

Dropped off my film Wednesday and was told that it would be done the next day which it was not. I showed up at the lab and was let in by another person not related to the lab and the owner was nowhere to be seen. After calling and texting with no response I left. Texted him daily with little to no response. The only response I got was I am working on it now or will update you shortly! which did not happen. Four days later I did get my scans, the black and white scans looked good, but the color scans I could tell were not only not color accurate but also had water splotches which indicates a rushed developing and drying process.Listen to the other reviews and send your film to a reliable service. I was very unhappy with the lack of communication and being stood up when he said he would be there. Very disrespectful, I will not be returning.He texted me after delivering my scans questioning me about my wifes one star review and also mentioning there is an extra charge for rush processing... Which is no where to be seen on his website.To the owner: please reconsider your business model and communicate with you customers. Do not promise what you cannot deliver.

This business is a scam. He will gladly take your film and money...but then doesnt deliver.We took our film because Nolan promised we would receive scans the next day.After texting , calling and giving him our estimated arrival time (received no response), we arrived at the lab for pick up and no one was there.Finally, when he texts back there was no apology for standing us up, he still didnt have our film ready. He made some excuse about being out of town.He makes promises he cant keep. Very disappointed. We love to support local and small business but wouldnt recommend this.

DO NOT SEND YOUR FILM HERE. As an attorney, you’d think I would’ve done my research. I dropped off my film, paid Nolan, and never received my photos. I sent him messages over text and on Instagram to which he replied he would “send it over today!” After talking with creatives in Columbus, I learned this is how he operates his business. It should be shut down for stealing people’s film and money - who does that!?!

I should have listened to other reviews, but unfortunately I didnt. I sent my film in and paid for processing and scans, but still havent gotten anything back. Nolan and I communicated only once, to set up a time to pick up my negatives, and he didnt show up or reply to my messages. Now he wont reply to anything.DO NOT SEND YOUR FILM HERE.

The Columbus Film Lab is run by Nolan and Sara, two photographers whos passion for film and photography is contagious. I love stopping by to drop my film off and having great conversations about photography and getting some tips and tricks on all aspects of film photography. The Columbus Film Lab is a great resource for the local Columbus film shooting community. I would highly recommend having your film of all sizes developed there (they develop E-6 slide film too)!!!

Great company! All the film is developed by hand for a much higher quality than some of the bigger companies. These guys really know their stuff and offer great, personalized services. Highly recommended.

Got film? The Columbus film lab will develop your black and white film many formats including 110!! I can spend hours talking to Sarah and Nolan. They will scan your film and make a contact sheet. Both Nolan and Sarah have a ton of cameras and camera knowledge.

Can I have my film back? Worked super hard for a project, didn’t get my film back in time to turn in any project, and still don’t have my film after making multiple trips to the lab with no one there and making it clear I have a deadline. Didn’t even want them developed at that point JUST WANT THEM BACK.Broke college student who is desperate and sad over her rolls that she has not had for three weeks and is tired of begging Nolan over text without any answer - so if you’re reading this and care, please find a way to mail them back to me.

I saw the wonderful reviews of the Film Lab and sent in the first 3 rolls Ive ever shot in late November. On November 30th I paid my invoice and was in contact with Nolan until December 7th, when I was told I *should* have my scans and film sent out that day. Its now December 26th and Ive not received any response from Nolan nor have I received my film or scans. Perhaps my experience is an anomaly, but I would like to give a fair warning to anyone outside of Columbus looking to have their film developed.*UPDATE DECEMBER 31st* I still have not received any response from the Columbus Film Lab, and they have blocked me on social media as well. I am disputing my charge, and have discovered others that have not received their film. I advise against sending your film to this group, otherwise you might wind up in a situation like mine.
