  • Typically, we offer same-day turnaround. However, times can vary depending on our current queue. Because our lab prioritizes quality over rushed quantity, we never cut corners on your film. We develop everyone's orders with meticulous care in the sequence they are received. During periods of high-volume traffic, our turnaround can range between 1 to 7 days so we can ensure every scan meets our high standards.

    📌 Please note: Our lab is closed on Sunday and Monday. Orders dropped off late on Saturdays will not be processed until Tuesday.

    Mixed Emulsions

    If you are submitting a mix of film types (for example, C-41 and Black & White), you can request to receive your C-41 scans first while your B&W is still processing, as color film is generally quicker to develop.

    Rush Service

    • Next-Day Service: Available for Color Negative (C-41) in both 35mm and 120 formats.
    • Exclusions: Rush service is not available for Black & White rolls or Prints.

  • Yes! We develop 35mm and 120 film, as well as most disposable cameras. We treat every roll like it's our own.

  • Yes! We offer professional-grade printing services! You can order them at the time of drop-off or wait until you see your digital scans first.

    • Standard Sizes: 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, and custom large-format archival prints.

    We do not include physical prints automatically, but they are available as an add-on.

  • Yes! We offer push and pull processing for both Color (C-41) and Black & White film.

    • What it is: If you underexposed your film (shot at a higher ISO than rated) or overexposed it, we can adjust the development time to compensate.
    • Cost: We charge more for push or pull processing.
    • How to order: Please clearly mark your rolls with the desired adjustment (e.g., "+1 Stop" or "-1 Stop") when you drop them off or mail them in.

    Note: Push/pull processing may add 24–48 hours to our standard turnaround time, as these rolls require custom timing in the lab.

  • We take quality seriously. Your film is developed using a Noritsu V30 (a world-class industrial film processor) and scanned on the legendary Noritsu HS-1800 for high-resolution, professional results.

    How you get your photos:

    • We upload your scans to WeTransfer and email you a direct link.
    • You can download your images straight to your phone or computer.
    • No account needed: You do not need a WeTransfer account to access or download your photos.

    If you have any questions about your scans or the process, feel free to reach out to us at Jesse@fremontphotoco.com.

  • We aren't just a big-box store. We are an indie lab and art house run by one local artist, for artists.

    • Pro-Grade Gear: We process on the Noritsu V30 and scan on the Noritsu HS-1800. This combination delivers the industry standard for stunning color accuracy and high-resolution detail.

    • Built from the Ground Up: When we first started, we didn't have commercial lab machines or a big budget. We taught ourselves everything from scratch hand-developing rolls, hanging negatives to dry, and scanning them one by one. Over time, we reinvested everything back into the lab to bring in professional equipment. That DIY foundation is still the heartbeat of who we are today.

    • Local & Independent: We are 100% owner-operated and based right in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas. When you support us, you're directly supporting the local art scene.

    • A Labor of Love: To be completely honest, film development has an incredibly low profit margin. We don't do this to get rich; we do it because we live and breathe film and want to keep the analog medium thriving in our city.

    ❤️ We treat every roll like it's our own. Even if you don't shoot film, stop by and introduce yourself! We would love to meet you, chat, and connect. Fremont Photo Co. is more than just a development lab, it's a creative space for artists, photographers, and the community. We do much more then just develop film!
