At Lenses & Brushes, we believe film deserves to be handled with intention and care. Our development process is fully hand-processed, honoring traditional methods that bring out the best in each frame — whether black & white or color.
We develop your 35mm, 120 negatives, and 4x5 negatives using time-tested techniques in small batches, ensuring that every roll receives the attention it deserves. Our process is rooted in the art of analog — slow, deliberate, and made by hand — something rarely found in commercial labs today.
Black & White
Classic silver-based processing, custom times for contrast and grain control. Ideal for artists, students, and archival work.
Color (C-41)
Carefully monitored, small-batch color development with rich tones and accurate color rendering.
Scanning Options:
We offer two methods for digitizing your negatives:
 Epson Flatbed Scans
High-resolution flatbed scans (TIFF or JPEG) — perfect for printing, archiving, or sharing online.
DSLR Negative Scans
For the highest quality and creative flexibility, we photograph each negative using a macro lens setup and carefully edit each frame by hand. This method preserves subtle tones and adds a fine art touch to your film.
