Film photography development, scanning, and printing by JoshFromGR.
Get Your Film Developed, Scanned & Printed
Welcome to Midtown Film Lab! My name is Josh and I'm a film photographer and developer from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I go by JoshFromGR.
I'm excited to help you develop, scan, and print your film pictures! I specialize in C-41 color negative film, black and white negative film, and ECN-2 color negative processes in 35mm and 120 (or similar formats).
If you have any specific needs that don't quite fit this model, please don't hesitate to reach out! I'd be more than happy to work with you to find the perfect solution.
Development
For development, I charge by the tank, which can accommodate up to 3 rolls of 35mm film or 4 rolls of 120. All rolls in a tank must be the same film size, get the same chemical process (C-41, B&W, or ECN2), and receive the same push/pull treatment. There is no extra charge for push/pull processing, but it is applied to all rolls in the tank.
Don't forget to use the handy pricing calculator below to get an estimate for your order!
Scanning
Scans are just $10 per roll for full frame 35mm and 120, and $20 per roll for half-frame rolls or 220 rolls, which take a bit longer to scan. I use a Sony A6600 to scan your film including the sprocket holes and process the images with Negative Lab Pro. I carefully go through each frame to remove as much dust and scratches as possible, along with color correcting to ensure your film photos look their absolute best.
All scans are done at maximum quality. You can expect an image resolution of around 4000x4000. Images look good printed in 8x10 and larger sizes. Take a look at these example scans.
Printing
I offer 4x6 or 5x7 print sets. A set will be prints of all photos in an order. Prints are done on a Canon Pixma G6020 and typically will use Canon papers and inks. The prints come with a quarter inch white border to frame your photos.

How It Works

- Package the form and your film rolls in a padded envelope and mail to:Midtown Film Lab
225 Michigan St NW #1014
Grand Rapids, MI 49501 - You will get an email when your film arrives with the cost and a Venmo link (let me know if you need a different payment method).
- Once your film is developed, you will get an email with a OneDrive link to download your photos as JPGs and TIFFs. The OneDrive link will remain active for at least 2 weeks.
- If you selected to have your negatives returned, they will be cut into strips of 5 or 6 frames (3 frames for 120 film) and mailed back to you in a paper envelope. If you would like, I can also put them in archival sleeves for an additional cost.
- Finally, if you ordered prints, they will be shipped out within a week after you receive your scans. When they are shipped you will get an email with a tracking number.
