Why Do Richmond Photographers Mail Their Film to Brooklyn?

Professional Quality
We scan on a Noritsu HS-1800 at up to 30.4MP resolution—sharp, color-accurate scans ready for portfolio reviews and gallery exhibitions.
Quick I-95 Shipping
Richmond to Brooklyn is a straight shot up I-95. Mail typically arrives in 2 days. Free shipping on 4+ rolls—easier than driving to a local lab.
