Carmencita Film Lab was born during 2012 in Valencia, Spain and it has been committed to getting the best out of every negative when it comes to develop & scanning a photographer’s work.
Founded by photographers for photographers, we created the lab we always wanted as film shooters ourselves and one that answered to the demands of photographers nowadays. We believe there is no other way to keep film alive than delivering our finest work with every single scan.
