I have film that needs push/pull processing

What is this?
Pushing and pulling film means changing film's exposure by changing the amount of time that your film is processed; pushing is more development time, pulling is less, and the values refer to the 'stop' of exposure change.

+1 makes 200 ISO into 400 ISO, -2 makes 800 ISO into 200 ISO, etc. This should only be used if the film that we'll be processing has been intentionally shot for 'push processing'

$2 per push/pull roll

Please mark your canisters for push/pull processing with a sharpie so that they are clearly differentiated!

⏰ Orders that include black and white will have a two week turnaround for all rolls

How would you like your digital scans?

Scan size recommendations:

Small — <1mb file size — small but high quality and space saving!

High Res — 1-5mb file size — perfect for Instagram, small prints, etc. — recommended for disposables

Max Res — 12-25mb file size — often used for professional work, larger prints, and archival purposes

Small High Res Max Res (+$3 / roll) No Digitals (Develop Only)

⚠ This option means you will be scanning your film yourself. If so, that's awesome! If not, please select a scan resolution and file format.

What file format would you like?

JPG TIFF (+$2 / roll)

Would you like digital contact sheets?

A contact sheet is a collection of all of the scans from your roll in a single image for easy viewing and sharing. They look like this! Leave blank if not desired.

Yes, I would like digital contact sheets (+$2 / roll)

How would you like your scans delivered?

You can check out an example of our brand new, custom online gallery for film scans here! Each file and roll can be downloaded individually and they stay in the cloud forever! Turbo's Club members automatically get a single gallery for all of their orders.

A zip file via email is fine! I would like an online gallery for viewing, sharing, and downloading my scans (+$6 / roll)

Would you like physical 4x6 prints?

Prints are $.46 each and right now we only print whole rolls. It usually comes out to around $14 per roll.

No thanks! Yes, for all my rolls Yes, I'll tell you for which rolls in the notes

Do you want your negatives (processed film) back?

About 25% of people opt to keep their negatives; this is mostly done by people who archive or self-scan all of their film themselves. Having your negatives is not required to get physical prints of your photos! Prints can be made directly from the scanned images you will receive from us.
If you don't have a need to keep your negatives, we'll safely dispose of them for you.

Please safely dispose of them I'll schedule a time to pick them up Please mail them back to me cut and sleeved (+$6 / order)

I'd like my picked up negatives...

Order Summary

I understand that I'm dropping off film at (or mailing to) a lab that is a very small, family-run operation. I am assuming the responsibility of reading the FAQ and all the dropbox materials to answer my own questions, and I know that if something is wrong, the team will reach out to me, and if not, I'll get my film as soon as it's done.
