It's a wonderful place! This is my first film development experience, and it's so good! Having found an old camera with film inside at home, I was looking for a place where they could develop it, diagnose the camera itself (whether it was still working) - everything was done very quickly!) Polite staff, specialist Timur advised on all the questions I was interested in! Prices, location, speed of work, customer orientation - everything is on the level. I was satisfied and I will come again more than once)

I'm finally ready for a review. A year and a half ago, local magicians cured and put back on its feet an old parental soap dish from the 2000s. Now I'm a regular customer here. The choice of film is huge, the development time is always pleasing - I literally do not know how they do it. The staff are always pleasant suns. For a layman like me who doesn't know what your iso and color renderings are, they're always here without snobbery, on their fingers, and they'll be happy to explain where it's warmer, where it's colder, and which film is best suited for which scenario. For this, a huge human thank you. And if you are lucky enough to meet Timur, then in addition to the uplifting small talk, you will receive a small lecture on photography as a bonus. Then you'll flaunt interesting facts in front of your less intelligent friends and pretend that you've always known this. And they will look with respect... hail, Silverdotlab!

I bought a film camera from Silverdotlab as a gift for a friend, and I was very pleased. In the store, you can buy film, develop it, sign up for a master class in film photography, as well as pick up additional accessories and body kits for photographic equipment. The staff provided detailed advice on all models, helped to choose the right camera and calmly answered all questions. Very pleasant and attentive attitude to the client – it is clear that the team really understands photography and loves their work. I even managed to have a little chat with the owner, which left a particularly good impression. A separate advantage is that you can purchase a certificate for a master class in photography here. According to the description, this is a full-fledged lesson with theory and practice, which is suitable for both beginners and those who want to understand shooting more deeply. I would also like to mention affordable prices and high-quality service. They explain everything without haste and help you choose the best option. It's a very pleasant place to come back to.

Timur, thank you so much for the master class! everything was very accessible and sincere, I was very impressed, I realized how much work there is behind the development of the film - real magic 🪄 everyone left with a portrait from the maestro and a keychain in the form of a reel of film - it's very cute) P.S. my personal opinion is that Timur is Dr. House in the world of photography. If you like this character, you will like Timur too))

On 21.02 I attended a master class on film photography in this amazing laboratory. I was very impressed. The very cool and friendly format of the master class, the presentation of information, and the atmosphere. When you know your job well and you're passionate about it, it can't be any other way. As a bonus, I filled up my piggy bank with cool photos, going through all the stages under strict guidance and calling out all the magic of developing photos. I definitely recommend it!

Soulful, lamp-like and wonderful, as always) A large assortment of films, there is always the opportunity to adjust to your plans and mood. Despite the surrounding "digital", it is always nice to plunge into the "analog" world) The guys are big fans and masters of their craft, I would even say they are the keepers of time in the world of photography) Today we helped pick up the film, after which we refilled a couple of soap dishes (thank you very much) and went to the world of holidays). See you soon. For film and film cameras - only here)

We recommended this studio when I bought a film camera. I have been there several times and the services are provided efficiently and quickly. The young man who works there is always polite and friendly, helps with all issues. He taught me how to insert film 3 times, but so far not very successfully (completely my fault) I'll come back here myself and I advise you, you won't regret it.

SILVERDOTLAB - you broke my heart ❤ The place is stylish and very cozy, I just want to stay alive. Your eyes run away even before you start choosing a film. Speaking of film! There's just an incredible amount of it. There is so much beauty on the shelves that you want to touch everything. And the cameras are so cozy and old, as if they are waiting for you to take them by the hand and go catch the light. The guys here are definitely magicians. They don't just manifest, they breathe life into the frames. They are smiling and very attentive. It feels like they are not just "providing services", but actually living it. The prices, by the way, were very pleased. For the quality they give, it's just for free. In short, SILVERDOTLAB, you are now in my heart forever. Thank you for the beauty, for the film, for the comfort and for making the world a little warmer and kinder.

I want to leave a positive review about the darkroom. The film was developed very quickly — in just a few hours. The employee explained in detail all the points that were unclear to me, answered questions and gave useful advice. Separately, I would like to note the friendly attitude and willingness to help. I have a very good impression of the service and the quality of the work. Thanks!

I really liked it here! I came to buy a film in an old camera. I didn't ask the consultant's name, but he helped a lot, suggested the choice and setup. There was also an old film in the camera; initially I did not think to develop it, but I was correctly hinted that there might be something worthwhile there, and so it turned out :) Thank you! Now I will recommend your store to everyone!

My long-held dream of getting into the red room has come true 🙂 I attended a master class on film development. It was a very intense 7 (!) hours. An interesting lecture with a lively and fun presentation. And, of course, the very magic of getting a picture from refilling the reel to getting a photo on paper in practice. Everyone left with their frames, key chains, and a good mood. I'm really glad I made it. I can recommend mk to both beginners and more experienced film lovers. And most importantly, I scanned more than one reel here: the scans are good, the delivery time is fast (2-3 days), the staff is friendly, and they also cut into slips, well

I dug up my father's soap dish, bought a film, and decided to check out what it was like to make 36 unique and unrepeatable frames, what it was like to make mistakes without being able to fix something. All that remains is to develop the film and select the frames. Friends and acquaintances through insta recommended silverdotlab. And I was satisfied. Everything is done professionally, promptly and with adequate money!

I attended a master class on creating film photographs, and I believe that all creators of master classes should attend this master class, because this is the benchmark. I've been listening to photos for 7 hours, even though my passion in this topic was at the level of a phone camera. Everyone says it's super interesting, the pictures turned out great, they let me develop the photo myself, which was a very interesting experience, because in an era when everyone made photographic films, I didn't exist yet. And their marshmallows are delicious. I'll safely put 10 out of 10.

A place that makes me happy! It's not the first time I've handed over the film to the guys for development, and everything is as always at the highest level. The timing is usually 2-3 days, but sometimes they can do it in one day. It's always so nice to get ready-made shots and remember the captured moments. In addition to developing, the store has a huge selection of films and cameras. You'll probably never leave empty-handed. Sometimes you can grab and rewind at a nice price. Thanks a lot to the staff and the owner for such a wonderful place! The location is also as convenient as possible.

I recently managed to get into a master class on film photography, the emotions are indescribable It was a very pleasant atmosphere, an interesting part of the theory about the history of photography, I saw the magic of film development with my own eyes, visited that very red room and printed photos with my own hands Everything happened under Timur's strict control and was accompanied by important and interesting stories about all the technical details. I recommend visiting, first of all, the photo lab itself - you will always be greeted kindly, they will help you with everything and explain everything, and secondly, a master class for all those who are interested. Thank you for such a service and such opportunities to expand your knowledge.

This is the second time I have contacted this darkroom. Development and digitization of 120 format film. This is done only here. They couldn't help me anywhere else. I understand that there is no better place to find. Very competent specialists. Everything is clear, fast, and professional. They communicate with the client in such a way that it seems they were waiting only for you) It's very nice. The soulful atmosphere of the room with hundreds of old cameras, lenses, films, films and everything- ah!!! what cute photo pens))) The development period is 2-3 days. Link to VIBER and that's it. You don't have to go anywhere else. The price - I expected much more expensive. I really like everything. Great respect to the management of this laboratory and many thanks to the staff and the photo masters.

I came across this studio when I first thought about buying a film camera. I arrived, my knees were shaking, because I had only heard about the film from my dad before. But Timur, the owner, explained everything in detail, helped me choose the best option, even taught me how to fill the film into the camera. Since then, for the second year now, I have been referring only to them. I also bring the finished films to them, knowing that the result will be wow. And yet, they have a film photography workshop, and it's not just 1 hour of demonstrating how to use it, etc., it's almost 7 hours of interesting theory (I've never been so interested in listening to someone), practice, and development! Anyone who wants to get a film or already has one, but wants to learn all the basics, feel free to go to mk! This is masthev. Timur organized all the details very coolly, explained and answered all the questions. 100 out of 10. Thank you very much!❤
