The Lab
All film processing occurs in-store at the Focus Pocus lab. This space is in the centre of Walyalup / Fremantle and the doors are open for walk-ins any time between 11-4, Wed-Sat.
A drop box is fixed to the gate so you can also drop your rolls off outside of hours anytime you please too!

The Technicians

The Machines
A big drawcard for shooting film is the tangible, hands-on approach to making photographs that it provides. This doesn't stop with the shooting! Processing film requires extraordinary care and detail and at Focus Pocus we've acquired some of the most accurate and well regarded machines to produce those perfect scans every time.
The Colour Processor
We use a fully refurbished, immaculate quality Noritsu QSF-V30 processor for all your 35mm colour film. The Noritsu is unmatched in regards to efficiency, quality and performance.
The Scanner.
We use a state of the art Noritsu S-600 film scanner to scan all B&W, colour and slide 35mm film.
This is calibrated daily and fine-tuned regularly to ensure the sharpest scans possible.
The drop box.
We have a drop box available 24/7 attached to our main entrance on the arched gate on Quarry Street. The drop box is checked multiple times a day and is perfect for swinging by and throwing your film in after hours or for a non-contact exchange. To use the drop box, just place an order through the website, attach a note to your film that includes your order number and name and come by and pop it in the box! We'll take care of the rest.
Negative Storage and Prints.

Prints
Prefer the physical copies?
We can also print your film rolls as we scan them in!
We use a sublime dye-sublimation 6x4 postcard printer to print high quality gloss prints from your frames.
Prints get stored for one month from when your order is completed.

Negative Storage
Negatives are cut and sleeved in our vintage Crown sleever from the 1970's. This slices your film in strips of four and archives them in durable, long-lasting plastic sleeving. You can choose whether you want your negatives stored, discarded or sent back to you through the post when you place and order.
-
Storage
Prints and Negatives are either stored in the lab or sent out via the post. You can choose which you'd prefer as you place an order. Prints & Negatives that are stored in-house will be stored for one month from when your order is completed, so be sure to come and collect them!
