FilmNeverDie reviews
68Dropped in my film camera for a rush job and was a smooth process. Within a couple hours I recieved my pictures and was able to easily access and download them! Love the photos and will definetly be coming back again, thanks so much!
I won't go anywhere else to get my film developed. Highly recommended for both their top-notch customer service and the exceptional quality they bring to every roll of film!
The store was super cool, with film canisters, boxes and cameras decorating the place. You can see the scanning machine to the side, and the whole place has a great vibe. As always, great customer service, easy process to get film dev + scan both in person and online. Around a one week turnaround with express postage from the ninch.
The photos here are shot on the Film Never Die YORU 400 film, and dev + scan were done by FND as well. Happy with both the filmstock and the scans.
One of the most trustworthy dev spots in Melbourne, never misses.
Posted my film via mail and the turnaround time was done the next day which was great! Staff were quick to respond to my emails and will definitely be coming here for future developments.
One word. BRILLIANT. Wonderful, friendly staff and great service. Speedy turn around time. Very knowledgeable. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Thanks for being fab.
I’ve been shooting with film for the past year, and I’m so thankful that Film Never Die is so close to my workplace as it’s easy to drop off film for development.
Also I’ve been lucky as I leave work, and walk past and see film restocks so I’ve managed to get my hand on some new film rolls too!
Development and scan of film is quick and provided by drop box. I recently dropped off 6 rolls of c41 film on Monday and received my scans early Wednesday morning! Couldn’t be more happier!
Thank you for doing such amazing work here
And thank you for being such a big part of my film journey
I’ve attached some film that’s been developed and scanned by FilmNeverDie
When developing, buying or just seeking advice about film, this should be on the top tier of your list. Friendly service, from people who know their stuff and are passionate about it. Quick processing time for developing film and have always been reliable. Recommend
Side note - if not blessed physically to be in Melbourne to process with them - just send it via post. Noice
Pretty good prices and nice + helpful staff, they also email back super quick too.best film place:)
Clear in-depth knowledge of film, really helped me out getting my film developed before flying back home. 100% recommend these guys!
I've had a few rolls developed and scanned by Film Never Die and the results are fantastic! Coupled with the easy and quick turnaround of a mail in order I will continue to use this service, Love it:)
Absolute legends, i’ve been sending my film here for about a year and i’ve always been stoked with the results.beautiful staff, fast turnaround and good prices.love you guys:)
I had 4 film cameras developed at Film Never Die and was so impressed with the convince of having my files all emailed to me in dropbox folders.with about a 5 day turnaround, (during a busy new year period) i could not of wanted anything easier and my pictures look great! Thank you team!
I've had great experiences with this store developing my film. Turnaround time is very quick. Great place to shop for film as well.
Great selection of film, cameras and processing services.
Sad to say, I feel that the premium pricing on everything is a little excessive. With film for example (fujifilm X-TRA 400) costing a whopping $28/roll at FilmNeverDie but around $15 at shops like walkens, decisive moment and halide. Unless desperate for a rare film roll/ camera, I find it difficult to recommend patronising the place. Hence, I'll only be back if they decide to work with competitive pricing.
I used to be a loyal FND customer, however I feel like I can’t continue to support the store anymore. I think the original motto of the store (to keep film alive) has been lost - the prices are just too high. The store is capitalising on the booming film trend, where other stores like walkens house of film seem to be more photographer-focused and friendly. FND has a clear monopoly being one of the only places to buy and dev film in the CBD, but the prices are just crazy. No prices are listed in-store so when I went to go buy a roll of Superia Xtra and it cost $28 I was mildly shocked (two rolls at walkens house of film cost ~$30). I really hope that prices can be addressed in the future because I feel like FND is making a really enjoyable hobby more inaccessible to newcomers. FND has a great location and the store has great potential, I just feel like I could not personally recommend any film goers to this store: (
Quick and nice place to develop your film. Good atmosphere: ,)
There was a little mix-up in my film and someone else's, but this was quickly sorted within a <day and I received my own pictures eventually. The staff was helpful and polite. I recommend to reach out to their Instagram, as they reply within few hours.
I came in on Monday and purchased my first film camera. They were quite busy after the bank holiday but the gentleman who served me was so patient, informative and educated me on how to use the camera I chose to buy. Thank you again I’m so exited to get my camera out and about and start my film journey.
Shot film for the first time and had my rolls developed by FND - blown away by the quality, the scans look incredible. New addiction for sure. Fair pricing and quick turn around. Thank you Gary, will use again in the future!
Great place and friendly staff, gives a bit of a nostalgic feeling. Amazing service as well with quick turnaround. Highly recommend
One of the few labs where I feel they actually care about the film you drop off and value customers. Very reasonable dev and scan prices, often have a decent selection of film as well. Whenever I’ve had a order go wrong they’ve always gone above and beyond to fix it and I can’t say the same for other camera shops.
