What Else Do I Need?
When you've finished the films then you will need the images developed and scanned so you can see them on your computer or phone - maybe to share with friends and family over social media, email or your website! That is also very straightforward - head over to our WonderLab and select 35mm Film Developing
You will have received a tracked shipping label within your Starter Kit to send in your finished films FREE and TRACKED, and within a matter of days you will see your photos!
The developed negatives will then be returned to you so you can store them safely at home.
