🎞️ Lab Update 🎞️

We're taking a short break to Iceland to capture some moments of our own.

From Monday 28 July to Wednesday 27 August, the lab will be running at reduced capacity.

During this period, the following will apply:


✅ 35mm C-41 orders of 4 rolls or less will still be processed and scanned (Noritsu only, Standard or Pro res)

❌ Frontier scans, 120 film, E-6, B&W, and contact sheets will all resume when we’re back

✅ C-41 process only is totally fine, no roll limit 👌

✅ Our online store and negative returns keep running Monday to Friday


Here are some key dates to keep in mind:

Full service cut off dates📅

Mail-in & HQ:

E-6 + B&W: Mon 21 July

C-41: Wed 23 July

Drop Boxes📬
Canberra + Hobart: Mon 14 July
Sydney: Wed 16 July
Perth: Fri 18 July


After these dates, any orders that don’t meet the film type limits will be first in line when the queue reopens on 27 August.

Orders will only be delivered during this time if they contain 4 or fewer rolls of 35mm C-41 with no scanner preference. Anything else will join the queue for when we return.

We know waiting isn’t the fun part, so get your film in early to beat the queue, or if it’s a bigger order, sit tight and we’ll work our magic when we’re home.
