Ikigai Camera

100% the only film lab I'll ever send my rolls to. Quality is surreal. Super friendly people too!

I’ve been putting off developing some film for quite some time. Trying to find someone that cares as much about what you’re shooting as you do is almost impossible. Ikigai were super easy to deal with and the turn around time was real speedy! The quality of scans were unreal. No longer do I need to look for a lab. Ikigai is the spot!

Best film lab I'ver used. Great customer service, very affordable pricing, quick turnaround time, and incredible scans. The online store is also very solid - great stock selection.

Had two rolls of film processed here and they're above and beyond the local big chain camera shops nearby

Ikigai did such a great job with my scans and speedy delivery too.
Will be using again.

Order 3 rolls of Kodak Portra 160 to be scanned.

Haven't had my film developed and scanned here but have ordered through their online store several times. Prices are highly competitive compared to the same film sold here in Sydney, and delivery is always punctual.
Edit: just tried their dropbox at Tooth and Nail and their scans are brilliant! I've never gotten such great colours on film before:)

Honestly amazing quality scans of your film, simple drop box method, fast turn around time and very professional service. This place is a true gem in the west! I’m defs coming here for all my film needs. Well done Ikigai you’ve earned yourself a lifetime customer!

The best film developing lab in Melbourne hands down! I've even recommended people from Sydney send their film to them, these guys are just that good! Their customer service is great! Friendly staff always willing to help! Quick turn around on scans and the quality is great, no one can compare to Ikigai Camera right now! I've never had a negative experience here! Highly recommend!

Peter and team are absolutely fantastic. Amazing turnaround, great results and very helpful. Definitely recommended!

I’ve been hoarding film for a while now, unsure where to get it developed. Found this company online & sent away b&w & porta colour.was easier than I realised & the guys were totally professional & awesome to deal with. I live in QLD & sent the film via post. Every step was noted. Will be using this company for every film I develop for many years to come. Thanks so much! Definitely recommend them!

Very competitively prices and excellent quality of development and scan. Service is a lot easier than other places and the scan was bang on. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic scan quality, excellent communication and speedy service. Continually recommend these guys to my mates and continually receive good word back. Can't talk them up enough!

The only place we go in Melbourne to get our film done, Peter and the team at Ikigai not only know their stuff, but have the best attention to detail and customer service.

We've had multiple rolls of 35 and 120 processed here and have always been floored by the turn around time and quality.

It's obvious that these guys care about what they do!

Thanks again team

Have had many rolls of film developed by Peter at Ikigai. Seriously fine work. Thanks for the speedy service and careful handling of our photos!
Looking forward getting many more rolls developed in the future too!

Excellent service, beautifully developed negatives, accurate and well balanced scans, affordable film and quick turn around. This is a wolrd class lab.

Haven't had my film developed and scanned here but have ordered through their online store several times. Prices are highly competitive compared to the same film sold here in Sydney, and delivery is always punctual.

Ikigai is my go-to for buying film. The service is always quick of a brilliant standard and the film prices always seem to be better than other places in the wider-Melbourne area. I've bought from then several times and it's always been a great experience. Looking forward to trying out their new printing service. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Ikigai is a lovely shop which provides a massive range of film at competitive prices. Wonderful experiences time and time again. Thanks Peter!

Such an amazing service every time! Ikigai will go above and beyond to help you out with any questions or recommendations, they also have a choice of Frontier and Noritsu scanners which not many other labs in Australia offer.

After a recent overseas trip I sent 31 rolls of film express post on a Monday the lab received my film on a Tuesday and by the close of business on Wednesday I had all my film scans back, other labs would tell you the turnaround time would be a week be for that much film but Ikigai are developing about a 100 rolls a day so their turnaround is usually takes 2 days max for c-41

If you’re going to get your film developed anywhere in the west please go here! An awesome local, small business who are passionate about film. So friendly, welcoming & authentic. Great prices & scans.
