Photo Depot

Cannot say enough good things about this man. A terrific service provider, a real pro-​technician and all-’round great guy.

After Oscar’s Photo Lab on Brannan closed due to an unfortunate fire, I had to find a replacement lab that could turn around slide scans in 24 hours or less. Foto Depot hasn’t let me down yet. They’ve been quick, reliable, and turn out quality work in a very short amount of time. I’m very satisfied with their work and would recommend them to anyone needing a quick turnaround.

AAU MPT Major. For the most part I was pretty impressed with this place. You walk and the first thing you notice is how messy the place is. Don’t let this bother you. They are friendly and customer service was good. Film was processed into slides in about two hours and was pretty happy with the results, except the last shot had some goop on it. I will bring my next project her for sure.

I’ve been here a few times, but not by choice. They’re the only one-​hour place open along a BART line into the city that will develop slides in a short amount of time, so I’ve been forced to utilize their services on a few occasions.
While it seems to be a fairly friendly family-​run business, they’ve never once developed my film in an hour, or anything close, despite multiple assurances to the contrary. Plus, they charge 50% more than Montecito and Gasser’s and the slide jackets they use don’t get numbered. Once, my slides even came back with scratches all over them from who-​knows-​what… and then there’s their mysterious «power outages» that they have, which many of my fellow students have also been subject to… delaying photo development even later. If they’d advertise themselves as a 2.5-hour photo place, they’d probably get four stars.

AAU GD students: They still run black and white processing here often in an hour or two. If you take Rose Hodges class they can process your 3200 iso film though I would highly recommend trying to start things a little earlier and go with someone who specializes in fast black and white film.
Be careful in this area and don’t park your car near here.
