No problem! Just place an online order here and send your rolls to:

Film Speed Lab UG

Dietrich-Bonhoeffer Str. 32

Before sending, take a look at our shipping checklist to make sure everything’s ready on your end.

Air cushion bags or small boxes are the best way!

As soon as the DHL guy walks in our lab — you’ll get an email from us!

Of course! We’ll just charge regular shipping costs.

Of course, mate. Just place an order and we’ll send everything together (tracking number included!). Shipping costs will vary depending on the size and weight of the package, like with any other parcel.

Every camera is a disposable camera (if you throw it away). So yeah, sure.

Same price, same turnaround.

We’ll, we can’t send your negatives to Australia…

On the serious side: we can’t scan Polaroid frames or your printed photos. 

“What about negatives or slides frame by frame?” We can, but it’s not the cheapest option. The same goes for 110 film and frames with perforations — they look fantastic, but they’ll cost a bit more.

And, sadly, we don’t develop or scan 8mm and 16mm film either.

C-41 – for color films.

ECN-2 – for motion picture films.

If you’re not sure – check your roll, it has this info printed on it.

Only if you shot your film that way.

Here’s how it works: you change the ISO on your camera and shoot at a speed different from the box speed (like Kodak Gold 200 at 100 ISO). Then, when you place your order, let us know about the ISO change, and we’ll handle the rest.

Think of it like this: if you’re going big — like for an exhibition or a gift — biggie’s your go-to

For everything else — flash. It’s fast, flexible and perfect for quick edits and everyday needs.

Here you can check the sizes of the scans for the most frame types:

FOR THE 135 TYPE (35 MM):

FLASH - [ 3130X2075 PX 6.11 MB]

BIGGIE - [6774X4492 PX 28.3 MB] 

FOR THE 120 TYPE (MEDIUM FORMAT FILM):

6Х4,5
FLASH - [2412 х 1766 PX, 9.1MB]

BIGGIE - [4824 х 3533 PX, 18.2 MB]

6X6

FLASH - [2416 х 2380 PX, 12.5 MB]

BIGGIE - [4832 х 4760 PX, 24.9 MB]

BIGGIE - [7139 х 4903 PX, 38.5 MB ]

If you’re looking for scans that are ready to post but still flexible for adjustments, go with JPG. We’ll make sure they look great, and you can tweak them however you like.

If you’re going for a certain look, go with TIFF for flat, untouched scans ready for your editing.

Not necessarily! Flash scan covers 90% of what most people need. That extra 10% are mostly for big exhibition prints :)

Yes! We can scan them in pairs or one by one — whatever works best for you. Just give us the heads-up when you order.

DPI (dots per inch) is a print measurement, but it’s not relevant unless you're discussing a physical print. What you really need is PPI (pixels per inch) and your file's pixel dimensions. To print at 300 DPI, divide the pixel dimensions by 300 to get the print size in inches.

For example, a 135 film scan at 4800 PPI gives about 23 MP, enough to print a 45x45 cm photo at 300 DPI.

Nerdy minute is over, back to your question: a Noritsu scanner gives 4800 PPI for 135 film and 2800 PPI for medium format. A 6x6 frame scan is about 4800x4800 pixels (23-24 MP), enough for a 45x45 cm photo at 300 DPI. The 72 DPI recorded in the EXIF is just for display and doesn't reflect the actual scan resolution.

Tip: Upsizing software can help if needed, but standard resolution usually prints fine at 8x12 inches without upsizing.

We only use the best and most reliable gear.

For most orders, we trust the Noritsu HS-1800. It’s a real powerhouse, with amazing color accuracy, excellent shadow and highlight detail, and it can output gorgeous 16-bit uncompressed TIFFs (if you need flat scan for post-processing). 

For your standout frames, we go all out with the Imacon 646 Flextight. This beauty delivers top resolution for big, bold prints — scanning 35mm at 6300 DPI, 120 at 3200 DPI, and 4x5 at 2040 DPI. All scans come as uncompressed TIFFs with 48-bit color or 16-bit B&W, around 350MB each.

1/ Check the turnaround:

Color film — next working* day (so Sunday doesn’t count). 

B&W — 3 working days.

ECN-2 — 7 working days.

Waiting for a biggie or TIFF? Add +3 working days.

2/ Double-check your spam or promotions folder, sometimes we end up there! 

3/ Still nothing? Feel free to email or DM us on Instagram for an update.

No need! We’re fast by default. Plus, we don’t like bumping anyone to the front. Every roll gets the same care, so we keep it fair!

Then let’s improve them! Scanning is all about your personal style, so let’s tweak it until it’s just right for you.

Oh, it’s the worst, we feel you. 

We’ll refund the scan and just charge for the development. This also applies if your film is fogged or has damaged / transparent perforation.

We’re waiting for you!

Not quite! We might be bold, but we’re not new to the game. We’ve got 10 years of experience from our first lab, Fotovramci in Kyiv (which is still thriving). 

We’ve loaded film in almost every camera, tested countless scanners and developing machines, and even converted C-41 machines for B&W. And now we’re here :) Ready to deliver top-notch service and help you out with everything.

When every parcel has an order number (and maybe a little treat), when emails are full of kind words, when all your films come out perfectly (no “sadly, your film is blank” messages), and when you drop by for a chat and to drop off rolls from your travels. That’s our favorite!
