The photo takes about 30 seconds to a minute to emerge and then another few minutes to develop. Colder environments will make this process slower.

Every camera purchased comes with insurance. Insurance covers all drops, spills and damage. Essentially if you can get the camera back to us it is covered. Insurance does not covered lost, missing or stolen cameras. We charge you a replacement fee for lost, missing or stolen cameras.

Full payment is due at the time of reservation. Although we do under certain circumstances allow for a partial deposit to secure the cameras and then the balance can be paid prior to shipment.
F - OTHER
1. How many cameras and film packs should I order?
There are no hard and fast rules for the number of cameras and film packs. Good rules of thumb are 2-3 packs (10-20 photos) per 10 people and 2 cameras for every 50-75 guests. If you need more guidance please contact us.
