Lago Vista Film Lab, Austin TX

Such a fast and efficient business, they have the best equipment and are so professional and handle film so carefully!

Impressed! My first time using Lago Vista over another local shop and I am extremely pleased. Mostly because, as other reviews have stated, the turnaround is crazy fast! Other places in town can take up to a WEEK for develop and scan, whereas Lago Vista delivered my scans within 1hour. Quality was superb. Overall very pleased with my experience and will be bringing more rolls through soon!

This shop is fantastic! Not only do they do one hour but the quality of development is insanely good. There are other places in town some are good and some are meh but Lago Vista is hands down the best.

This place is great. It’s a short walk from the UT campus, so as a student it’s very convenient. This happened a few times where I would drop my film off and by the time I got to my bus, the file was already sent to me. It seems they focus on developing and scanning only and not printing and repairs and all of that so they have such a great turnaround time. Their standard scans are really good compared to Austin Camera and Imaging. Very reliable, quick and friendly. Although, I wish they did b&w in house, and it would be so cool if y’all had a larger selection of film to buy. But, i would recommend to anyone:)

The employees & owner are very kind. The return is extremely fast and efficient. I received my scans minutes before an hour from dropping off. I might have found my spot to develop & scan all my film.

Love this place. Richard is an expert in processing and and maintains his shop to the highest possible standard!

I’m a UT student, so this location is great. Back in my hometown I could only get CVS 35mm developing, and I didn’t realize how bad of quality & turnaround it was until I had my photos developed here for about the same price at CVS. Not only is the quality amazing, but I always get them back + scans within the hour! Would definitely recommend:)

Some of the highest quality development and low fi scanning I have seen, and extremely quickly. Pricey, but worth it if you're above amateur.

The fastest and best quality developing I have ever been to. I dropped my film off and drove to San Antonio and before I even got to Buc-ee’s my photos were ready in my email.

I’ve been coming here my whole time at UT and the turn around, quality, and friendly owner always impress me. I recommend this place to everyone who asks where I get my film developed

Fast and fantastic color film developing in under an hour!

Definitely the quickest turnaround in Austin.

Awesome small business to support. Service is prompt and knowledgeable and the staff there are awesome with answering questions. Highly recommend visiting the new location in person!

The best film lab in austin! I’ve been super impressed with the quality every time, and the digitalis get sent to me within an hour after dropping off the film every time! Love this place, I’ll never go anywhere else to get my film developed.

Over the past few years I have frequented this business as it was a small business and the guy seemed friendly. I recently had a few rolls of film developed. I think my total was somewhere around $185 and I even told the guy to keep the $15 change. I come back later that day and see that they closed a few minutes early and I had a flight to catch the next day. I figured the prints would be in good hands. I guess I didn’t see the fine print that they throw away your photos if they aren’t picked up in 2 weeks. I think this policy is a little unfair and would have appreciated a phone call. It’s sad that they threw away such great memories and didn’t think it was worth the time to give me a phone call. When I spoke on the phone to the owner he not only didn’t seem apologetic but it almost seemed like he enjoyed the little power trip and felt no guilt at all. Maybe others will have a different experience but there are other places that don’t have this policy so be careful

Such a great experience! I was able to drop off my film within 3 minutes and got it back within the hour! Highly recommend

Love Lago! Such a great vibe coming to him and talking about film, adventures, Y’know anything that’s of topic with the rolls of film! Love his turnaround time! Love how they come out! Prices are amazing! Super super thankful for Lago Vista Film Lab!
