Common Questions

Brantford Film Lab - Brantford Ontario Canada

How do I drop off my film?

Ask us for our (mail-in) film processing form. Your black and white 35mm (135), 120 or 220 format film can be mailed or dropped off locally in Brantford, ON

How long before I have my film back?

We process film the same week we receive it, with the exception of Statutory Holidays and/or vacations. For time sensitive film, we often process same day for a small expedite fee.

Why do professional photographers push film 1 stop?

The ASA standard underwent a major revision in 1960 with ASA PH2.5-1960, when the method to determine film speed was refined and previously applied safety factors against under-exposure were abandoned, effectively doubling the nominal speed of many black-and-white negative films. For example, an Ilford HP3 that had been rated at 200 ASA before 1960 was labeled 400 ASA afterwards without any change to the emulsion.
