Fast quality service at a cheaper rate compared to other film labs in Twin Cities metro area. I dropped off two rolls of 35mm film on an afternoon at 5pm and received the scans back through email at 11am the next day. The people who work there are nice and helpful too. They offer basic and pro image scans, the difference is that pro image scans are color and density corrected while basic scans don't have corrections. Basic scans for size medium is $11/roll and pro scans for size small $15/roll. For that price, I'd suggest going for the pro scans in size small if you only need to print 4x6 photos or need the photos for posting on social media. They have sample scans of the same photos in store so you can see for yourself the difference between the scans. More info on pricing here https://www.fastfotofilm.com/fastfoto-film-lab-order-form.pdf If you wish to keep your negatives, you'd have to go pick it up. They will keep it for 30 days before throwing it away. You also have the option to pay $10 to get them mailed back to you. They have some film stocks available in store but the prices are significantly higher here compared to other retailers. I just wish this place was closer to Minneapolis, though, since I take public transportation. read more

Aaaaand it turns out, 3 out 4 of the pictures do not meet Canadian citizenship requirements. Sigh. I called and spoke with the staff, and the same person who took the photos indicated they were using a template from the Canadian Consulate and that they would not refund for the photos, stating that if the application was rejected, they would simply retake the photos. He said they had an extremely high rate of success, and was unmoved by the 11-month wait and high cost to apply. read more

This is the only place I would ever go to get my film developed. They are fast, kind, and able to do anything you would ever need. Plus, they are far quicker than CVS or Walgreens or whatever non-small-business you would go to anyways. I recommend this place to everyone read more

Great fast service. They offered a miracle turnaround for a wedding. They had a very nice man help me on the phone. It worked out well for my niece's wedding. read more

Fast Foto is my go to spot for film developing in MN! I've been getting my film developed here for years. They do a fantastic job with the scans, the turnaround time is much faster than anywhere else nearby, and they are so friendly in the store! I always recommend them to my friends that shoot film! read more

10/10 Film Developing! Great pricing, great information about the variety of prints/scans you can receive and amazing customer service! I dropped off 4 rolls of 35mm film and received my WeTransfer folder in just under an hour!! Very pleased with this store and will definitely be coming back! read more

Came in a few months ago to get some 30mm film developed, the guy behind the counter was rude and condescending, he expected me to know exactly how they're business worked when I had never been there before. Once I got the scans back I was really impressed to say the least. You can get way better development for cheaper elsewhere. The only positive was they called me before scanning to let me know that I might have a shutter problem, I told them to scan anyways so I could better address the problem. Then they charged me full price for only 4 photos scanned on the roll... go somewhere else, there are companies/people that are much happier and friendlier to work with and at a cheaper cost. read more

Great job scanning film, once scanned the files are uploaded and instantly available, and you get your negatives back, too! Develop C-41 in house. Fast, efficient, customer focus. Price is competitive, too! read more

Gem of a place. This is a true small business where the owner works there almost every day. They deliver quality service and prints. I'm a professional photographer and use Fast Foto for my professional film developing. I've been a customer for 15+ years. read more

Love this place. They are always very quick in developing 35mm and the cheapest by far that I have found in Minneapolis. Don't really write reviews, but I was shocked they had a low rating on here. I don't understand what there could be to not like about this place. Cheap, high quality, fast. I would never take film anywhere else. read more

I am bad at leaving reviews, especially for places I enjoy, unless they REALLY stand out to me. Fast Foto is one of those places. I've tried a few other film labs in the past (and still use a different lab for B&W and E6 processing, since Fast Foto does not handle either in house, sadly), but for C41 processing, I simply can't say enough good things about Fast Foto. The film drop off process is super simple, whether it is in person, after hours through their drop box, or through the mail. The scans are by far the best quality with the most attention to color and detail of any of the labs I've used. And they live up to their name; the turnaround time is incredible. I often get scans back the same day they receive my film. My only, minor complaint would be that Fast Foto is a hair more expensive than some other labs, but not by much. And they are absolutely worth every penny. Even if you are not local (but especially if you are), and are looking for a film lab, I would highly recommend giving Fast Foto a try read more

I had the same experience for UK passport photos. $35 for a 2 minute photo. Advertised that passport photos were $15 but didn't mention the ones other than US were more expensive. The man had an unfortunate manner also. read more

Took 2 mins to take my photo for my Canadian passport picture. The photographer was rude and kept rolling his eyes at me, like he had better things to do. The picture turned out horrendous. Yes I know they have a lot of rules for this particular passport pic, but my last one was lovely! On top of that, I paid $40 to get 2 ugly pictures. If it wasn't the only place I knew about for Canadian passport pics, i wouldn't come back. Do yourself a favor and find another photographer. read more

Always helpful, always one hour and always quality results. I've never had anything less than reliable, beautiful results and I send all of my clients to Brad when they purchase digital images. read more

My experience was similar to others. I went in for Canadian passport photos for myself and my 3 kids. The photographer was curt with us, not friendly. The photos looked great in camera but printed horribly. Our skin tones were greyish and there was clear shadowing on one of the photos. I did call back after they have offered to retake the photos. They were fast and efficient. read more

I went to Fast Foto to have one roll of 35mm Portra 400 developed. The lady who helped me could have been a bit friendlier, but she knew what she was doing and made sure she got the order right. She told me my photos would be processed in about an hour, they called in 45 minutes and told me my roll was processed. The guy told me he wanted me to check over everything before they made duplicates of a group photo. I confirmed that they had the right photo, and he offered to crop it a bit (which was necessary). He called in 20 or so minutes, my duplicates were done. My experience with Fast Foto was top notch, there aren't many places in MN that still develop film. Very knowledgeable staff. read more

What an impatient and grumpy photographer! Hard to believe! Definitely not for kids pictures. I wish i had read the previous review before going there for pictures. Most photographers will try to make you feel comfortable and relaxed and take the time to try to get the best possible picture. This guy was curt and grumpy, not once did he smile or look welcoming, acted as if he wanted to get it done as soon as possible. And for that kind of service, he charges more than most places. I will not take my business there again. read more

I tried to have some Christmas cards completed this year. I was working with Brad to design a card but after the third eye roll from him I said well you must be very busy and he said yes and advised me i could come back tomorrow. I got home and felt it was appropriate to go somewhere where the establishment did not find me to be an inconvenience. Store owner was extremely rude and unprofessional. read more

I am not sure what the two reviewers problems were, but I have never had anything but great service from Fast Foto. I had my passport photo done and it was accepted, unlike the one that I had done at a big box store. He knew all of the guidelines and requirements. I highly recommend this place. read more

When I called this business I didn't know they were closed but it was 15 minutes before they were even open and they answered and were extremely helpful and gave me perfect directions. They were very attentive in helping me get setup with my usb drive and giving me directions on how to proceed with picking pictures I wanted printed. They initially said it would be about an hour to process the prints, but it only took about 40 minutes and they called me to tell me they were ready. I will definitely go back! Thank you!!! read more

Store owner was unfriendly and downright rude. I wrote him to inquire if it was possible to get a light blue background passport picture taken at his store. He assured me it was possible. When I got to the store, he greeted me with neither a smile or a hello. I had sent him the specifications via email for my passport pictures prior to turning up. When I got there, I also brought some samples with me. He lectured me for not printing out the specs online. Then he brought out an un ironed crumpled up cobalt blue cloth to use as a backdrop. He had no studio, only a chair in the front of the store with a cardboard piece on the wall. I then told him that it was the wrong color and that I needed a light blue background. He rudely argued with me that he has had no problems in the past. He then told me to buy my own piece of cloth and bring it in. I left and went to ProEx where I was treated with respect and spend $20 less than I would have at Fast Foto. Stay away. read more
