Where do you develop film in Melbourne?

I’ve been shooting film around Melbourne for a while and kept running into the same issue — finding reliable labs that actually give consistent scans.

I’ve tried or looked into a few places so far:

Irohas Photo Lab – fast turnaround, consistent scans, good for both C41 and B&W

Halide Express – quick and affordable, good if you need something same/next day

FilmNeverDie – more of a community hub, also offers processing and workshops

Kindred Cameras – more on the creative/art side, but still useful depending on what you need

From what I’ve seen, the main differences come down to:

turnaround time (same-day vs slower but more careful scans)

scan quality / color consistency

whether you want a “lab” vs more of a creative space

I’m still trying out different labs, so curious —

where do you usually develop your film in Melbourne?
