  • A good friend recommended me to Coastal Film lab and I can’t thank her enough! I finally got back into film photography after taking a break for a while. I love that they provide such high-quality digital downloads and have so many wonderful recommendations for different films and cameras!

  • I love coastal!!! They do a great job on developing and scanning my prints, but more than that, they are always so kind and have a great attitude in store. Every time I’m there, they are helping someone out and it is always with incredible patience and a smile.

  • Ordered a Pentax 67 from them. Haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but camera looks great. Also, A+++ packing job.

    Stephanie Augello

  • been going here for a while and the quality of photos and service has been amazing!! the reason for this review though is because while we were there, our car battery gave out and decided to come inside to ask if they had jumper cables, Victor and the other kind staff were able to jump start our car 🙏🏽😭🤍 AMAZING PLACE WITH AMAZING PEOPLE!!!

    viridiana

  • They were so serious when they said their turnaround times are shorter now!! I dropped my film off on Sunday and got my scans today. I'm a really amateur photographer with a little point and shoot, and it means so much for my film to be handled and developed with so much care and quality!! I wouldn't go anywhere else <3

    How to pack your film

  • Drop it off

    In the Tampa Bay area? The counter is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10am–6pm, and Saturday 10am–3pm. Outside those hours use the drop box between our two front doors. There's a second one in the back parking lot. We develop film every day, including the days the shop is closed to walk-ins.

    No shipping to buy. Just include your name and order number.

    Get directions

Whichever route you pick, write your name and order number on a slip of paper and put it in with your film. Want your negatives back? Choose a return shipping option at checkout. That's separate from any label you buy to send film to us.
