Here’s how awesome they are (just think on this for a moment): $200 gets you a drum-scanning class plus three drum scans. Day-use rates as well as year-long memberships for you or even your assistants/staff are available at great prices (half-off day use for students and recent graduates).

While they don’t offer film developing labs or services, they offer a full digital studio with multiple workstations for flatbed scanning, drum scanning, large-format printing, color correction, etc.

This is a professional photo-finishing lab with one big difference: it’s a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that will provide services for you or, more interestingly, teach you and let you do it yourself at incredible prices.

The chart is also organized geographically. For this, I could certainly use everyone's help (but I will solider on alone regardless – it may just take a little longer). However, a true process-and-scan chart with small, medium, large, and extra-large file sizes is the next goal. In some of these cases, the pricing was quite decent when considering scanning prices. Some popular labs on the list only offer processing with scans and won't do process-only. This brings us to the only quality metric somewhat covered on the chart. However, at some point (and for many people), film needs chemicals to process it in relatively specific conditions to be consistent - and if you can manage that at a low price, what's the difference? Still, there are differences but these differences mostly only come into effect when including scanning services. An expensive lab does not mean it's not worth it, just as an incredibly affordable lab does not mean it is always the right way to go.

Of course, this also means that the chart does not factor in quality or other value-added benefits. This means that a single "$" doesn't refer to a specific dollar value, but instead refers to the value offered based on the lowest base price at which other labs will process that film type. A charge of $8 per roll might be cheap for 35mm E-6, but expensive for 35mm 120 C-41. The above chart shows all of the actual pricing with the price ratings that judge the value for the service offered against what other labs charge. Scroll down for the final chart that more easily enables judging prices at a quick glance. This is the master chart with all of the exact pricing (rounded to the nearest $0.05) for each film type, etc.
