A film-by-film approach

Monochrome deserves individual attention.

Black & white films differ in grain, contrast and tonal response. Our semi-manual workflow lets us match development to the film, exposure index and desired result rather than treating every roll identically.

01

Film-specific chemistry

Developers and times are selected with the film and exposure in mind.

02

Push and pull control

Adjustments are available when a roll was exposed above or below box speed.

03

From texture to tone

Careful processing supports grain, shadow detail and luminous highlights.

Questions, answered

Black & White FAQ

Which developer do you use?

The lab works with developers such as ADOX Atomal 49, Rodinal, HC-110 and D-76, selected according to film and exposure.

Can you push or pull my roll?

Yes. Select the adjustment while ordering and label the roll clearly.

Do you process 110 and 4×5?

Yes. Live options include 135, disposable cameras, 120, 110 and 4×5.

Is this the same as Scala?

No. Standard B&W creates a negative; Scala is a specialised reversal process that creates a positive transparency.

How long does it take?

The usual turnaround is 7 working days.
