Would NOT recommend getting your film developed here. Both my c-41 and bw rolls have occasionally come back with visible processing errors such as overdeveloped areas around sprocket holes (caused by rough agitation), scratch lines (poor drying procedures), and even light leaks. If the roll is precious to you, develop it at home! This place is inconsistent and has proven unreliable during all steps of the development process. Other labs in the area should really be stepping up and competing with this place - it has too high of a reputation for the disappointing results.

Full Circle is THE best place to go for film lovers. They are so kind and knowledgeable! I've been going to them for 2 years now and usually it takes 1-2days to get developed film back. If it takes any longer, they are always able to communicate the expected delay and reason why. Definitely try them out!

I just got a disposable camera developed (for the first time in maybe 15 years!) and I'm so happy with the digital files I received! Full Circle processed them for 1/2 the price and a fraction of the time I was quoted at some other places (avg. a month turn around time)- I got my files in 2 business days. Will absolutely be coming back, thank you so much!
