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.

About us

Lumina Labs, helmed by artist John Umina, is Central Victoria's top choice for expert film developing and professional scanning services.

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.
