    I've been going to them for any sort of photo prints for the past couple years and loved the high quality and crisp prints. The staff continues to be terrific, helpful, and communicative. My husband and I had our bigger wedding photos printed for the wedding!

    Best lab in OC, I have had $1000s in photos developed here and recommend it to anyone looking for a shop. They are very helpful with questions and provide excellent customer service. Scans usually will be back the day after you drop the negatives off. If you have 10+ rolls, be sure to ask for the bulk discount!

    I had film from a disposable camera developed here. I received the pictures in my email later that afternoon and picked up my physical copies the next day. It was super easy, fast, and I love the quality of the photos. I will definitely be back!

    The scans came out amazing! I chose the mail in option and paid for the negatives to be mailed back. Overall took about 5 days to get the scans. Thank you!

    The shop owner was quite friendly to me, being a beginner. Receiving scans at 5PM when I dropped off at 12PM was amazing.. and they are good quality! I will definitely be using them again. Only Con: Their film stock prices are high. Kodak gold 200 and ultramax 400 was about 60-75% more than BH

    Came here to develop some film from my disposable camera, it was a quick and easy process and they developed it very fast. They sent me an email with a link to download all my pictures the very next day, the pictures came out fantastic. I also let them know that I wanted to keep the film negatives when I dropped the camera off, and they were ready to pick up the next day. They came in an envelope with their own plastic protector.

    Ask the Community - Legacy Film Lab

    What kind of film scanner do you use?

    Hi Peter, we use both the Fuji Frontier Scanner and Noritsu HS-1800 Scanner. Thanks for asking!

    Hi, how much is it for a disposable camera to get developed and scanned? Do you upload the images on a server for access? Thanks!

    Hi Daniel, The price is $15.99. If you bring it before 1PM, we'll deliver the images same day.… 

    I have the film, but I haven't opened the negatives yet. Could you open the film and scan the negatives in the film developing process?

    Hi George, Yes we can. Please bring your film to our lab during our regular hours. M - F 9AM -… 

    Do you still do after hour drop offs? I went but did not see the mail box at your front door.

    Yes, we do. Just make your order on our website, legacyfilmlab.com, then put you film in a bag with your name and order number and place it through the mail slot on our door. It's on the right hand side. Hope that helps!

    Do you ship negatives back to customers?

    Yes, we do on request. The shipping fee is $4.99.

    Hi, is there an after hours film drop-off available?

    Hi Raymond, just download our order form here, https://fotoworkspro.com/pages/35mm-film-developing… 

    Do they sell 35mm film?

    Yes, absolutely. We have carry Kodak Gold, Kodak Portra, and Fuji color films. And, we also carry Ilford BW films.

    Are you able to scan a print and enlarge it?

    Hi Chris, absolutely!

    How much does developing film cost?

    it starts at $12 per roll

    Do you return film negatives?

    Hi Sharon, Absolutely! We encourage people to keep their negatives. It's a physical artifact of your memory.

    How fast is the turn around?

    24 hours for photo prints 72 hours for metal and canvas

    Do you print 5-piece canvases (one image)?

    Yes we can do split image canvas prints

    How fast can you have a canvas ready? Also it says canvas sheet on your website, but is it on a frame to hang on wall?

    They are canvas wraps on a frame that are ready to hang. If you get the order in by Monday, we'll have it ready for pick up by Friday.

    What's is the turn around time? I am hoping to get a metal print done before Thursday.

    I have only use them for a regular prints but I can tell you their service is fast and of course it all depends on the workload that they have at the time you place the order. I'm sure if you ask by Thursday they'll do their best to make it… 

    Do they develop film?? or just digital prints

    Hello, We do digital prints only. Thanks!

    Wish we could have experienced the rave reviews that everyone else had - just to get a phone…read moreconsultation I felt like I had to keep following up with them. Booked a call with Shilpa, and then today she is totally unreachable (including anyone at the studio). This was for my parent's golden anniversary and this group was the first on my mom's list. Received an email response from her explaining about covid and last minute emergencies, which I get. Stuff happens, but next time a simple email/text/smoke signal would be just common courtesy. But as you can see from her email, didn't seem like a huge deal to lose a customer. Must be nice. Needless to say we will be going with someone else. Taking this as a blessing in disguise!

    Wow, where to begin? Ok - starting with the general photos and vibe. When browsing for a photo…read morevendor, I'd been seeing a lot of airy pictures or color that was orangey - meh. I wanted something that looked like the cover of a romance novel. A romantic vibe. During this journey, we were introduced to this Lin and Jirsa (referred by a venue I think? Not quite now). Fast forward - I had an amazing experience with Juliana for our engagement photo shoot. Honestly, I wasn't even going to do the engagement photo shoot but the more I looked at Lin and Jirsas photos the more obsessed I got. Once you commit, you fill out a questionnaire and they even ask for inspo photos, good AND bad which I thought was cool! I'm so so so happy that Juliana will be with me on my upcoming wedding day. She was really great at coaching poses, which I was super nervous about. She showed photos in real time. Might I add, it's absolutely fascinating what settings on a camera, and someone holding a lighting stick can produce. The photos she showed me in real time looked like the magic that was produced in our viewing album! She was receptive to feedback about how I felt about myself in pics. Me: "My arm looks skinnier but when my hand is on my hip but I don't want to look like I'm trying to be skinny and have the same pose so like um, I don't know what I want." Juliana "I got you! Let's try this!" No hesitation. She also was very purposeful with the photos she took. She wasn't aimlessly snapping her camera with hopes of a good one - she was intentional and thoughtful. Julianas personality was great - engaging, funny, thoughtful. Her lighting assistant Diana (I think that was her name, so sorry I don't quite remember!) was super easy going too and took the direction of whatever vision Juliana had. The support team that emails you is very nice and efficient. I feel bad that I've not gotten back to them nearly as quickly as they replied to me! The original beach we selected Victoria Beach, ended up having super high tide so when we got there, she immediately had Plan B, no time wasted. When we got to the beach, we really wanted a picture with this seal we saw on a rock (from a safe distance of course so as to not bug). It looks like CGI but she got the pic!! She was climbing over rocks and really putting in effort to get good shots! At the end of the shoot I spontaneously wanted to get in the water and she happily snapped some shots and they came out great! (Visible in my post here). If you have any thoughts or concern about the cost or if it's a good idea - ITS THE BEST IDEA, do it!!! Before I ever saw their site (well, stared at it for hours) I never knew this was something I would want, or feel comfortable with. If you're getting married and are unsure because hey, weddings are insanely expensive, remember that your pics with live forever. So just commit, enjoy the process, and look forward to being absolutely in love with the magic this company creates!

    WOW! is a complete understatement on the professionalism, quality and value that I have received…read morefrom Ivy her team. I am based in Pasadena which is 50 miles away but I do not mind giving Ivy and her team all of my business. They respond to messages late at night and provide you with a digital proof before printing. Their prices are extremely competitive and I didn't even look anywhere else. They delivered the sign on time that far exceeded my expectations. There was a very minor glitch, two additional grommets on the sign that was not called for and didn't really affect the sign at all. Ivy offered without me asking to redo the sign and ship it to me free of charge and let me keep the first sign with the hiccup. The sign was fine but they were perfectionists and want the customer to be 1000% satisfied. I know this time they did not make much profit if any with all the manufacturer and shipping costs. I was shocked once again when I received the sign how intricately they packaged it. They must have spent at least 20 minutes packing the sign! This tells you that the Ivy and her team really care about their image and they are truly dedicated to the customer experience. It was like unpacking a ceramic bowl! Please do what you do because you do it with humility and candor. You are a diamond in the rough. You are the definition and role model of what a business should be and ought to be. I am a client for life. Thank you once again Ivy & Visual Signs!
