Develop / Scan Service - Double 8mm Film (25 ft rolls)

This is a developing/scan service for your new Double 8 exposed film.
Service includes developing your film and scanning to a HD file. The media is placed on a USB Thumb Drive (that you supply)

Follow the steps below (to send your film) and read all the info on this page before ordering.  Note: If you need additional items (i.e. film or other FPP products), please order them separately. Otherwise, other items ordered will ship when your Develop/Scan is complete).

Note: This page is new 8mm film. We do not develop old or vintage Kodachrome (or Ektachrome 160 type) film. If you found film in your vintage camera, it's almost 100% Kodachrome. Try Film Rescue for Kodachrome recovery. If you have vintage film that is already developed, we can scan it for you.
