So great to show the behind the scenes. I work part time at a film camera shop and I think more people would appreciate the developing wait times and prices if they saw this. ✨

[@SophiaCarey]

Ah amazing, I bet that’s loads of fun! And I’m sure!

[@ArchiesLens]

@@SophiaCarey it is alot of fun! getting paid to nerd out on cameras and film is the best haha

[@sujanhariharanr22]

Yes, Sophia. Grt video enjoyed the entire 26min. The most I have been inside is the entrance desk talking to Ciaran or Bean lol. Alays wondered whats goes BTS to develop a roll, this was in-depth and very detailed. Coming from a person who has started shooting film recently and used come through since the very beginning, can 💯 % recommend them if you wanna develop c41, b&w films.

Ah amazing, so glad you enjoyed the video! Also glad to see yet another recommendation for Come Through - they really do offer such great services. Thanks for watching!

This video really gives an appreciation of the skill level required to do this kind of work & also the equipment needed, helps to provide great context as to why development prices are what they are

[@SophiaCarey]

Thanks for watching Gareth! I definitely found it really interesting to see how meticulous the process was. Always great to see the behind the scenes of a process that makes up such a big part of our final work!
