Recommended film labs
Shooting film is fun. Figuring out where to get it processed, scanned, and printed is not. I’ve tried a lot of mail-order labs over the years and I’m going to share with you the ones I like best, and why.

Where can you still get film developed? (2018 edition)
Getting film developed isn’t as easy as it was just a few years ago. But several by-mail labs are ready to help you. Here are the ones I use and like.

Operation Thin the Herd: Minolta Autopak 470
I had a disappointing time with my Minolta Autopak 470, which has previously performed as brilliantly as any 110 camera can.

Minolta Autopak 470
I’m not a huge fan of 110 film and cameras, not since my deep disappointment over the lo-fi images from my once-in-a-lifetime all-summer trip to Germany in the 1980s. I shot a $15 Keystone 110 camera with a plastic lens. It was all I could afford; paying for the trip had tapped us out. And…

Kodak had to develop an entirely new film technology just so that the tiny 13mm x 17mm frames on the negatives could yield usable images. And then camera companies worldwide…

What’s a guy who still shoots film supposed to do?
It is a sad day for this camera collector – my neighborhood CVS has stopped processing film. Theirs was the last one-hour color lab (that I know of) near my home on Indianapolis’s Northwestside.

Minolta 110 Zoom SLR
Unbelievably, when Kodak introduced the tiny 110 film cartridge in 1972 a few camera makers said, “Hey, I know! Let’s make a super high-quality camera for this film!” Never mind that Kodak intended this film to be used for family snapshots. Never mind that Kodak had to invent a whole new film technology so that…
