What customers say
It's a pretty inviting environment the employees are very helpful. I did have an issue with one of my rolls i wanted to get developed it came out blank. So they were very generous to honor the deal and gave me credit for the next time.
Excellent customer service by the tall guy with darker short hair. Greeted instantly in a laid back manner, had a charismatic smile also–like he was really happy to be there.
Only place I’ll let develop my film. It’s hard to trust anyone with my precious rolls of film, so I strictly use Dexters Camera and Lab. They package your negatives carefully when shipped back. The scans are impeccable. The customer service is amazing.
the only place in the area where you can get film scanned. i checked other stores and no dice. maybe CVS or walmart still does this type of service but just skip that and come straight here. by photographers for photographers.
