Our store currently only offers developing services for C-41 color negative film.
We can develop 35mm, 120mm, half-frame, and disposable cameras like "Utsurundesu."

【IMPORTANT】Undevelopable Films and Risks

The developing machine currently used in our store is exclusively for "color negative film (C-41 process)". Black and white, reversal, and large format films will be supported in the near future.
If any of the following films are mixed in, the developing solution will be contaminated, leading to a serious accident such as machine breakdown.

• Black and white film (excluding C-41 process films)
• Reversal (positive) film
• Motion picture film (repacked/ECN-2)
• Overseas film with no process specified
• Film repaired with tape

In the unlikely event that these films are mixed in and cause damage to the developing machine, we may charge you for repair costs and business compensation at actual cost.
If you are unsure about the type of film, please contact us before sending it.

Accidents and Compensation during Storage

We handle entrusted films with the utmost care, but in the unlikely event of a developing machine problem, force majeure accident, loss, etc., compensation will be limited to the following scope:

Refund of the cost of the relevant film

*Please note that we cannot compensate for "costs incurred for shooting (transportation fees, etc.)" or "the value of the recorded content (memories)." We also cannot be held responsible for postal accidents (loss/damage) that occur during delivery to our store.

Yes, it is possible.
We can also digitize (reprint) negative film developed at other stores or negatives taken in the past.

【 Supported Formats 】

Size: 35mm film (full-frame / half-frame)

Type: Color negative, monochrome, reversal (positive) *Regardless of type, all will be digitized into high-quality data using digital duping. (A dedicated scanner for 120 film is currently under development. We will begin accepting orders once it is complete.)

【 How to Order 】
Depending on your desired finish, please purchase either the "Standard Plan" or "Basic Lab (RAW data delivery)."
At that time, please write "Digitization of developed negatives requested" in the remarks column on the cart screen.

⚠️ Important Notes Regarding Fees
Even if you bring in developed negatives, the fee will not change from the "normal price including development fee."
(Even if the development process is omitted, we charge a flat fee as a basic cost for scanning work and equipment operation. Please understand this in advance.)

We can develop all C-41 color negative films, such as MARIX, YESSTAR, and SantaColor.

*However, please note that some batches may show individual differences in the finished results after development due to variations in quality.

Currently, all data is delivered with a "bordered" edge.
This is because bordered scans produce more stable and beautiful colors.

In the future, once the automation software is complete, we plan to change this to an option of bordered or borderless.

Developing is possible.

However, there are risks:

• Overall color cast (green, red, yellow, etc.) may appear
  
• Contrast may be low, resulting in dull photos
  
• In the worst case, almost nothing may be captured (loss of sensitivity)
  

We will do our best to correct it, but please understand that there are limits to what can be corrected due to film deterioration itself.

Yes, it can.

However, please note the following tendencies in the results:

• Underexposure (too dark)
  Noise tends to increase, and colors may shift.
  
• Overexposure (too bright)
  Areas where highlights are completely blown out cannot have their color or tonal information recovered.
  

While we will correct within the possible range,
please understand that information may not be recoverable if the original exposure was significantly off during shooting.

*We plan to implement a detailed exposure feedback option (paid) soon.

Roughly speaking:

• JPEG
  File size: Small
  Image quality: Sufficiently good (ideal for social media and smartphones)
  Color editing: Minor adjustments are fine
  
• TIFF (16bit)
  File size: Quite large
  Image quality: Rich in data and tonal gradations
  Color editing: Suited for serious retouching and large prints
  

"I want to view photos on my phone and upload to social media as they are shot" → JPEG is sufficient.
"I want to seriously fine-tune colors myself in Lightroom or make large prints" → TIFF is more suitable.

When film negatives are scanned,
the data that is still in "negative state with orange mask" and has not yet undergone color inversion or correction is referred to as Pre-inversion RAW data.

• The colors are orange, and it looks like a "negative as is."
  
• Intended for those who want to invert and adjust colors using specialized software like Negative Lab Pro.
  
• Large file size, and requires some knowledge to handle.
  

This is an option for those who want to create their own color profiles from scratch, or who are experienced in digitizing film.
It is generally not necessary if you simply want to "view photos normally."

Commonalities (Image Quality and Scanning Conditions)

The scan quality itself is the same for both plans.

• 35mm film: Full-frame scan at approximately 24 megapixels
  
• 120 film: Full-frame scan at approximately 100 megapixels
  
• Specifications include capturing the full visible area without cropping
  

In other words, the resolution and amount of information are the same for both plans.
The difference lies in "how much time is spent meticulously adjusting colors and tones."

Standard Plan

• Adjusted to Natsusomare's standard, with a slightly blue-green tint
  
• Adjusts exposure, white balance, contrast, etc., to achieve a state that is
  
  "sufficiently beautiful while retaining the film's character."
  
• This is a standard finish that emphasizes overall balance, checking each frame but without excessive meticulousness.
  

👉 If you think "it's fine if it just looks normally good" or "I mainly use it for social media or everyday purposes," then the

Standard Plan offers perfectly adequate quality.

Color Perfection Plan

• Compared to the Standard Plan, more than double the time per frame is spent on adjustments.
  
• While meticulously checking the gradations from highlights to shadows, skin tones, and color shifts,
  
  the optimal balance is sought for each frame.
  
• This plan is designed to meticulously adjust even the atmosphere, based on style specifications or reference photos, such as "Natsuiro" or "Somarre."
  

👉 If you want to "finish it as a work of art," "intend it for an exhibition or printing," or "want to be particular about the color atmosphere,"

choosing the Color Perfection Plan will allow you to best appreciate the difference.

At Natsusomarre, you can choose from two types of color-enhanced finishes:
"Natsuiro" and "Somarre."
Both prioritize a film-like texture while offering different approaches to color creation.

▶ Natsuiro

A bright and beautiful finish with a sense of transparency.

This is Natsusomarre's "standard color" designed to complement Japanese landscapes, skin tones, and everyday snapshots.

• Soft, light tones
  
• Emphasizes transparency and brightness
  
• Naturally brings out the nuances of blues and greens
  
• A finish designed to evoke an immediate sense of "beauty"
  

If you're unsure, Natsuiro is recommended as a starting point.

▶ Somarre

A "mood-focused" finish that adapts rich overseas tones to blend with Japanese scenery.

• Subdued colors
  
• Soft, warm-toned hues
  
• Reduced contrast while valuing an airy texture
  
• For those who seek "style" and "atmosphere" in their photos
  

This is popular among those who want to elevate their usual photos to a more "artistic" level.

▶ Which one should I choose?

• For natural beauty and transparency → Natsuiro
  
• For an overseas-style tone and atmospheric photos → Somarre
  

Both are designed to enhance the beauty of your photos according to the shooting scene,

without compromising the charm of film.

Both are high-end plans that require more time to finish than the "Standard" or "Color Pursuit" plans.

What they have in common is that the scan resolution is the same as the regular plan:

35mm: Approx. 24 megapixels, full-frame scan
120: Approx. 100 megapixels equivalent, full-frame scan

What differs is "who edits, with what philosophy, and how much time is spent on editing."

▶ What is Plan: Degas?

Inspired by the Impressionist painter Edgar Degas, this is a "special finishing plan with a predetermined worldview."

Features (Key Points Only)

1. Approximately 5 times the working time of the Color Pursuit Plan
   The editing time spent per roll is overwhelmingly long,
   and each frame is carefully refined according to "the worldview for this plan."
   
2. Unique ICC profile + Duplication process
   Using an original ICC profile and a dedicated duplication process (copying process),
   the finish aims for a wet and profound texture.
   This is suitable for those who prefer a "moist" and "low-key" tone.
   
3. Dedicated担当者固定: Nanasiki Exclusive
   To prevent variations in the finish, Degas is handled exclusively by staff member Nanasiki.
   This design eliminates differences in perception between staff members and maintains a consistent tone for Degas.
   
4. For intermediate to advanced users and those with digital experience
   Cuts with significant exposure discrepancies
   may not turn out as desired no matter how much they are edited. This plan is particularly suitable for those who can control exposure to some extent
   and those who are accustomed to digital photography and want to enjoy film as a "difference in texture."
   
5. Free TIFF data
   Degas includes 16-bit TIFF data at no additional charge.

　For those who want to refine it further themselves
　For those planning exhibitions or large prints

This configuration easily accommodates such cases.

1. Free feedback option
   If requested in the remarks section,
   "I'd like to be praised"
   "I'd like comments on whether it's suitable for exhibition"
   "I'd like some deliberately strict advice"
   
   etc., Nanasiki will provide text feedback.
   
2. Estimated Delivery Time (Based on Actual Operation)
   Standard: Approx. 1-2 weeks
   Quick Pass: Estimated 1-3 days from arrival date
   *Due to the very large volume of work, it will take more time than the standard plan.
   

▶ What is the kiki plan?

This is a "full-custom color refinement plan" handled by owner kiki herself. If Degas is a "special finish with a predetermined worldview,"
the kiki plan is closer to a "made-to-order" approach, designed from scratch to match the customer's preferences and uses.

Features (Key Points Only)

1. 2-3 times the working time of the Color Pursuit Plan
   Each roll is edited for 2-3 times longer than with the Color Pursuit plan.
   Fine adjustments are made, taking into account the intent of each frame and its intended use (exhibition/portfolio/SNS, etc.).
   
2. Very high degree of color freedom
   We can accommodate, as much as possible, requests such as reference photos, preferred photographers or films, and detailed instructions like "this cut should be like this" or "this roll should be like that."
   This is for those who want to create more freely, without being bound by existing styles like "Natsuiro" or "Somarre."
   
3. More thorough feedback
   If desired, feedback will include good points for each photo,
   comments on exposure and composition,
   suggestions on how to improve in the future,
   etc., providing quite in-depth feedback.
   
4. Some re-editing (readjustment) possible
   For requests like "I'd like this cut to be a bit more like this," it's possible to re-edit a few frames (approx. 3 frames as a guide) to be even better.
   However, for cuts where the original exposure is significantly off, or information is lost/crushed, dramatic changes may not be possible no matter how much re-editing is done.
   
   In such cases, kiki will do her best within her capabilities and honestly convey the limitations.
   
   
5. For those who are serious about creating their work
   This plan is for those who want to finish their work for photo exhibitions, professional use, or portfolios,
   who want to consult with a "sense of creating a work together,"
   who want to pursue the tone and atmosphere of each individual image to the fullest,
   etc., essentially, for those who want to approach their photography as a complete "artwork."
   
   
6. Dedicated担当者固定: Owner kiki
   All editing is done personally by owner kiki.
   This plan directly reflects the philosophy of the lab itself.

We can print documents from A4 to A3 size. If you would like to print something, please contact us.

Yes, we also accept requests for digitalization of developed negatives only.
However, we currently only support 35mm (135) film.

Supported Scope and Fees

• 35mm (135) film: Digitalization only supported
  → The fee is the same as for development + digitalization.
  There is no price difference such as "cheaper/more expensive because it's only digitalization."
  
• 120 (medium format film): Currently not supported
  → Once our proprietary scanner under development is completed,
  we plan to officially support digitalization of 120mm film as well.

We will send the data via a Dropbox download link.

• The link is valid for 30 days.
  Please note that we cannot re-deliver data after the 30-day expiration period.

Yes, that is possible.
We will return it along with the developed negatives. However,

Please specify in the remarks column in advance which film cartridge you would like returned (e.g., Kodak Gold 200, etc.).

【A】Standard Plan / Color Optimization Plan / Plan Kiki / Development Only / Development + RAW Only

1. Standard Delivery Time
[ Arrival/Reception Date ] ── Processing Period: 3 Business Days ──▶ [ Delivery ]

The reception date changes depending on the time of arrival or drop-off, and delivery will be made by 24:00 on the third business day after that date.

• Mail: Film arrives in the morning → Same day reception / Arrives in the afternoon → Next business day reception
• In-store: Drop-off before 18:00 → Same day reception / After 18:00 → Next business day reception

Example (Mail): Arrives Monday morning (reception) → Delivered by 24:00 on Friday
*Wednesday (closed day) is not included in the business day count, so if received on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday will be the 3 business days.

2. Slow Discount (Discount Option)
[ Arrival/Reception Date ] ── Processing Period: 3 Business Days + 7-10 Business Days ──▶ [ Delivery ]

Delivery will be made according to a schedule that adds 7-10 business days to the standard delivery time.

Example (Mail): Arrives Monday morning (reception) → Standard Friday + 7-10 business days = Delivered around Tuesday of the week after next

3. Quick Pass (Paid Option)
[ Arrival/Reception Date ] ── Highest Priority Processing ──▶ [ Delivery: Same day to next business day ]

The target delivery time changes depending on the time of arrival or drop-off. Processing will be done with the highest priority.

• Mail: Arrives in the morning → Target same day / Arrives in the afternoon → Target next business day
• In-store: Drop-off before 18:00 → Target same day / After 18:00 → Target next business day

This plan guarantees "highest priority processing," not 100% "same-day delivery."

【B】Plan: Degas
Since a dedicated nanashiki carefully finishes each image, the delivery time differs from the standard plan.

1. Standard Delivery Time
[ Arrival/Reception Date ] ── Processing Period: Approximately 1 Week ──▶ [ Delivery ]

Since our dedicated staff will finish without compromise, delivery will be made approximately one week from the reception date.
Example: Arrives Monday morning (reception) → Delivered around Monday-Tuesday of the following week

2. Quick Pass (Paid Option)
[ Arrival/Reception Date ] ── Highest Priority Processing ──▶ [ Delivery: 3-4 Business Days ]

Based on the reception date, processing will be prioritized over other customers and delivered within 3-4 business days.
*Please note that this guarantees "fastest processing" for high-end processes and is not same-day delivery.

Common Items: Return of Negatives (Developed Film)
After data delivery, developed negatives will be returned to you. (Via post-box mail)
*To improve delivery efficiency, we may ship items in batches for a certain period. There may be a time lag of several days to a week between data delivery and negative return, but please rest assured that your negatives are being carefully stored.

⚠️ Notes Regarding Delivery Times
Our closed day (Wednesday) is not included in the delivery time count.
Information regarding special holidays such as New Year's holidays and temporary closures will be announced on our SNS.
In the event of development failure, a full refund will be issued for the affected portion.

Normally, for half-frame film, we develop and digitize two frames as one shot.

If you wish, it is possible to develop and digitize each frame individually. In that case, please use the "Half-frame 1 by 1" option.
Please note that digitizing each frame individually takes twice as long as usual, so an additional fee will be charged for this option.
