Note on black & white and E6 film: we currently don't run those processes in-house and instead partner with a lab in San Francisco. Once our partner lab has processed the film, it is returned to us for scanning and printing. Because of this, our turnaround time for black & white and slide films are extended by about a week. If you send a mix of different process types, we will complete all parts of your order and ship your negatives/prints back to you in one shipment.
