Photo service FAQs for Marylebone South customers
Do you develop 120 medium-format film, and how are the scans or prints supplied?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. We handle supported 120 colour and black-and-white films with scan and print choices. Keep exposed rolls sealed and see our 120 film developing information. Scans can be supplied in the agreed file format and prints can be added where the service allows. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
What is involved when you scan 8mm, 9.5mm or 16mm cine film, and can several tapes or reels share one order?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Cine film is assessed by gauge, reel length and condition before scanning to digital files. See the available formats on our cine film transfer page. Multiple tapes or reels can share an order when numbering and labels make the sequence clear. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you help with E6 slide film and transparency services, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. The correct route depends on whether the film needs processing, scanning or printing. Identify the film label if possible and review our E6 and transparency information. Film type, laboratory process, quantity and requested output affect the completion time. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
What is involved when you recover footage from a damaged or broken videotape, and what if the recording is damaged or unlabelled?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. A damaged cassette needs inspection before playback because forcing it can worsen the problem. Describe the damage and review our video tape repair service. Do not attempt playback if a cassette is mouldy, broken or jammed; describe the condition before bringing it in. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you prepare international passport, visa and ID photographs, and how do I identify the correct requirements?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Requirements vary by country, document type and application method, so bring the application instructions when available. Browse our passport, visa and ID photo services. We check the selected authority and application method before preparing the photograph. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
What is involved when you accept suitable work by post or through an online order, and do I still need an appointment?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Some digital services can be ordered online and selected film or media work can be arranged by post after checking the details. Use our contact page before sending valuable material. An appointment is only needed when the selected service requires reserved studio or assessment time. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you prepare passport or visa photos from an online order, and can several family applications be handled together?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Online orders need an original, unedited camera file with space around the head and shoulders. Follow the instructions on our online passport photo page. Family applications can be handled together, but each person and document type is checked separately. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
