Photo service FAQs for Streatham customers
Can I ask your team to develop colour 35mm film with prints or scans, and how do I choose between prints and scans?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. You can choose processing with digital scans, photographic prints or a combination of both. The current choices are listed on our 35mm colour film page. We can explain resolution, file delivery and print choices after identifying the film. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Do you transfer VHS tapes to convenient digital files, and how will the digital files be supplied?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. VHS recordings can be transferred to supported digital formats for easier viewing and storage. Label each cassette and read our VHS transfer information. Digital files are supplied through the agreed storage or delivery method for the selected service. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to develop 120 medium-format film, and can several rolls be included in one order?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. We handle supported 120 colour and black-and-white films with scan and print choices. Keep exposed rolls sealed and see our 120 film developing information. Multiple rolls can share an order when each roll and its requested output are clearly labelled. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Do you scan 8mm, 9.5mm or 16mm cine film, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Cine film is assessed by gauge, reel length and condition before scanning to digital files. See the available formats on our cine film transfer page. Running time, tape condition, format and any repair or enhancement work affect turnaround. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to help with E6 slide film and transparency services, and how should old or unidentified film be handled?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. The correct route depends on whether the film needs processing, scanning or printing. Identify the film label if possible and review our E6 and transparency information. Do not pull film from a cartridge or clean old negatives; keep everything protected for assessment. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Do you recover footage from a damaged or broken videotape, and how do I choose the most useful digital format?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. A damaged cassette needs inspection before playback because forcing it can worsen the problem. Describe the damage and review our video tape repair service. We can explain file compatibility and storage choices after identifying the source format. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
Can I ask your team to prepare international passport, visa and ID photographs, and do I normally need an appointment?
