Always a reliable service in that scans are received when I expect them. The quality of scans is excellent and good value too. I appreciate that the company is quietly professional at a time when other companies use gimmicks to attract trade. Highly recommended.

Brilliant film Lab!
I’ve used Southsun Film Lab a number of times now and I’m always so impressed with the service. The turnaround time is consistently quick and the results are always wonderful. It’s clear a lot of care goes into the processing and scans, and I’m always excited to receive my images back. The quality is fantastic and everything is handled so professionally. A brilliant film lab and one I would happily recommend to anyone shooting film.

They get it right.
Always highest quality scans back + consistent timescales too. The only time they are not consistent is when they manage to do it quicker! I've now used Southsun for 2 years and will continue to do so.

Fast turn around and good scans. Any poor quality pictures are the fault of the photographer! (There were enough good ones for me to be happy)!!
