How it works
We develop disposable or single-use cameras of any brand, including Praktica and cameras bought from Boots, Amazon, supermarkets, wedding suppliers and other shops. Bring the complete camera; you do not need to book, order online or remove the film yourself.
Choose JPEG or TIFF digital images and their resolution, optional 6 × 4 photographic prints, whether you need sleeved negatives returned, and one-hour, same-day, next-working-day, standard or no-rush turnaround.
Your digital images are delivered online. Printed photographs and negatives can be collected from our Brighton shop when they are ready.
