Film processing
C-41 film
At Lumina Labs we use Kodak Flexicolor chemistry for reliable C-41 processing, regularly monitoring for cleanliness and accuracy with densitometry. Our well-maintained Noritsu V30, along with various other processors, handles small batch processing to deliver consistent, high-quality results.
Black and white film
Choose between hand processing or machine processing for black and white films. We use top developers like HC-110 and DD-X to achieve the perfect grain, highlight, and shadow detail for your film.
ECN-2 film
Our ECN-2 processing employs advanced six- or two-bath chemistry to ensure precise development and superb quality for your cinema film.
Film scanning
We use industry-leading Noritsu, Frontier, and Flextight scanners to capture every detail of your film with precision. Premium film scanning services offered at Lumina Labs include:
- flat scans
- uncompressed TIF files for maximum quality
- custom looks: contact us before ordering to discuss your specific requirements, and we'll ensure your vision is realised.
Unlike other labs with tiered pricing, we offer a single rate for all scans, guaranteeing the highest native resolution from our advanced scanners.
But I like control. I want to scan my work.
Well then, you are welcome use our equipment! We are based in bucolic Kyneton, 50 minutes from Melbourne. Take a day off and enjoy the local food and art scene while you're here. Our scanners can do everything from 135 to 4x5 . We'll provide a short tutorial, and the rest is up to you. But we'll bring you a coffee while you work. :) Contact us for rates and more information.

About us
After moving to Kyneton, John found there were limited resources for film photographers in Central Victoria. So, he started his own lab to meet his creative needs. After a while, he figured he might as well extend this high-quality service to others. And so here we are.
