I'm a wedding photographer and have been using Take It Easy Lab for years now for both professional work and my own happy snaps and they never disappoint. I've used a few others and nowhere compare... See more
Great service. Only criticism is curly negatives upon return which will not flatten, tricky to scan on flatbed without ANR glass and/or holsters. Not a big deal but I came to Take It Easy as I've had... See more

Fantastic service every time
Fantastic service every time, packaged and send off my films one morning, received digital scans the following afternoon, so fast, communication is great, prices are great and I love the points system….
One small thing though
I sent some black and white one time and I understand they send them off else where but the waiting time was much longer then what it said on their instagram….. besides that their service excellent highly recommended, won’t be using else where from now on!
Top quality and a great team
Top quality and a great team. Fast and efficient communication when UPS messed up my delivery. Paid for 1 day turnaround and from the moment UPS delivered to the time I got the scans was only 1 hour and 20 minutes... insane. TIFF files are great and lots of latitude for editing. Provided good advice regarding my camera when one of the rolls didn't look right too. Will be using these guys for all from now on!
Amazing service
Amazing service. Great price, scans were the best quality I’ve ever had and I received them within 4 days. Communication and customer service was 10/10 when I made an error on my order. I’ve found my new favourite film developer! Thank you :))
Skewed and spoiled scans - Fixed !
Update:
After seeing the review, the team got back to me ASAP, apologised and were happy to scan and print my negatives again with no extra cost on my behalf. Looking forward to receiving my fixed photos :)
-------
I was really excited to get my film developed in this lab because it seemed like a lot of people were really satisfied. The staff was really quick and nice at responding when the email to my scans hasn't come through, but unfortunately I was not satisfied with the scans. They were skewed and in about 1/3 of the photos you could see a wide dark border and even a part of the next shot. It seems they were not placed correctly on the scanner and consequently my prints came out skewed and messed up, too.
