The best film lab ever! Been going to Rewind for 4 years and I’ll continue to make the 40 minute drive because they’re so nice and very quick with getting my film back to me. Couldn’t recommend them more!

I've sent in 12 rolls now and they are excellent!! Even when my film got deep fried from some scanners (and probably user error) I can tell they really did their best to save it. Rewind is my new go-to, you can trust this lab with your film.

As a wedding photographer who shoots a large amount of film, having a lab you fully trust is EVERYTHING, and Rewind Film has been that for me for years. Their scans are consistently beautiful, true to color, and incredibly reliable, which is such a huge deal when these are irreplaceable client memories. Turnaround…

I have had many rolls of film sent to Rewind these past years. As a profressional wedding photographer that photographs on film it's extremely important to trust my lab for my couples. They're consistently amazing people and my favorite scans! Can't wait to send many more rolls their way in the future!

Where do i even begin! I’ve been taking my film to rewind for the past few years and you’ll have to truly pry me away from them at this point. Sorry you guys. You're stuck with me forever!! I shoot a lot of weddings on film, 35mm and 120, and I need a lab I can trust with rolls that can’t be reshot. They have never let me down. Not ONCE. The scans are clean and consistent, the colors are exactly how I want them. You can just tell they know what they're doing and that they love doing it. Their entire team is kind and work so incredibly hard, plus they actually know film, and they’re happy to answer the millions of questions I have, even when it comes to something being wrong with one of my cameras. I recommend them to every single person who asks me where to send their film in. So, if you’re anywhere near orange, this is where you should be taking your film! And actually even if you don't live nearby, you can send in your film via mail, and they will take the best care of you and your art! Love you guys!!!!

I am so grateful for the staff at Rewind Film Lab. I'm a professional pet photographer, but use a 35mm film camera for most of my personal photography these days. I send all of my film out to Rewind and get their signature scans - it's so worth the extra expense of shipping the film! They are great at answering questions, always get the scans back to me by or before the date they share, take my reference images to heart, and I'm always happy with the results I get from them. I tried local consumer labs and Rewind is just too amazing for me to switch over. Thank you so much!

Response from the owner · 6 months ago

Haley thank you so much for the kind words. We appreciate you taking the time to write us a review. We thank you for trusting us with your film and look forward to working with you again. We are so grateful for you as well! Sincerely, The Rewind Team
