  • Introducing Open Lab, a unique photo lab in Melbourne which allows members to develop and scan their own film using Lab-grade equipment. I document my first-time experience getting to know the space and using the equipment to develop and scan my own film. Thank you to the team at Open Lab, and to everyone who shared their experience in the video!

    Very cool to see a lab like this up and running in this day and age, just great to see. I suspect if more of these types of labs pop up it will only add to the enthusiasm analogue film has provided the photographic hobbyist. I think it would be a great addition to any city, especially here in my home town of Toronto, Canada....so if you're watching - go for it.

      Hey, I'm about to move to Toronto, so that would be awesome. I'm hoping to find an analog photography community, and begin developing E6 myself. From BC, peace! Haha

    what a marvellous enterprise! Another example encapsulating the positives of film photography. Art, Community, Learning, Sharing and Practise - wonderful!

    Stumbled upon this as a recommendation. Cool! Saw that at the time of my comment it is temporally closed and hope y'all can be available to the community again.
    I am lucky to live in a town with a great community darkroom but no Scanner or C4... I know there used to be something similar in Berlin. This is great specially for color film scanning, I did find ok labs for occasional use but would love to do it myself and into big huge tiffs under my parameters and interpretation.

    I used to actually work in a film lab, with that exact developing machine and scanner. I miss it sometimes.
    Hopefully one day I'll come and see the space!

    Awesome place. I was lucky to pick up a Jobo CPE2 and really like the set up with their CPP3 processor recessed in the worktop.....time to get the jig saw out.

    What a cool place, really great to see! I hope it will inspire similar initiatives around the world. I recently tried camera scanning for the first time, and your guide really helped to make it a good experience, so thanks for that!

      Hey I'm glad the guide helped! Yeah I can imagine this concept catching on... we weren't sure or able to see that there are any similar places in other parts of the world

    How good is this idea of a lab! I had herd about them during COVID, but didn't get around to see them. I was on a photowalk a few weeks ago in Collingwood and stumbled across it! Had a good chat to Gavin their on that day!

    This is amazing! I so wish we had one over here. I have setup my home to be completely DIY process to print, but a Jobo doesn't run film nearly as quickly or consistently as a roller transport processor.
