I've been here 3 times now and had a good experience each and every time. When I have dropped off disposable cameras I've received the photos through Dropbox same-day. All prices are listed on a display at the front desk, no one will be ripping you off. Prices are higher than a mail in lab...but you're also in Manhattan getting your photos back the same day. It's worth the extra couple bucks.

I have also come here to print a locket sized photo and the staff made several attempts to cut out the photo for me until it was just right. I will be returning to develop more film in the future.

Got a roll of B&W film developed in a few hours. That’s rare these days. Super easy. Highly recommend!

I cannot speak highly enough about this place! Steven is an angel and gifted with film. I have gotten dozens of rolls developed with him over the years and they bring me to tears every time I look at them in my email. He can give you meaningful, patient pointers when it comes to settings, film choices, developing, anything you may have questions on. The colors pop and the quality represents, to me at least, a perfect nostalgia summer dream. He always gets them to me within a few hours with a convenient Dropbox link; prices are slightly higher than a CVS but worth every penny. There is a sign inside that will make you smile: “when you buy from a small business, an actual person does a little happy dance inside.” By far my favorite small business: I will never go anywhere else! Highly recommend!

The staff here is incredibly rude and unprofessional. I come to this story (which is very limited and overpriced) simply for convenience as it is two blocks from my work. I come to print photos and have them placed in frames.

The first time I came the staff refused to print photos and place them in a frame unless I purchased the frame at the store. I recognize that this is a small business in Manhattan and so to stay in business they need to cost their services at a rate to allow them to survive. So, I purchased a frame (despite the cost) for the convenience of getting this project done and they did a good job.

When I returned for a similar project today, they rudely told me that (1) none of my photos were correct dimension and had been cropped (which was not true) and (2) that they would charge me $5-10 to simply print an individual 4x6 photo. I needed this to print for my child's preschool and so opted to move ahead despite the insane cost and was then told that since I did not tip them on a prior visit that they were upset with me. I literally could not believe what I was hearing and the discussion turned into a shouting match. By the way, this all happened in front of other customers.

I have never experienced this degree of unprofessionalism and hostility in my business in my life. I have no idea why this happened when I spent over $200 on prior visits to this business for work that could have been done for half the cost elsewhere.

Avoid this business at all costs. They do not deserve the minimal business that they currently have.

I only leave reviews when a business truly stands out and S L Photo Express truly does stand out. It is clear the staff are experts in their craft. They develop photos in a day and easily transfer them to you. The experience is so easy and seamless. Thank you SL Photo Express, you guys are doing really great work over there!

THE BEST PHOTO SHOP IN NYC. Owner took so much time showing me how to load my film and helped answer my questions as a beginner to photography. My film was developed in a few hours and emailed to me. It was a seamless process and I will definitely be going here regularly to have my film developed!!! 10/10

This place is truly amazing! I dropped off a disposable camera yesterday and received the Dropbox link a few hours later. The quality of the photos was incredible! Everything was crystal clear, even photos that I had taken in low light. I'd gotten my previous camera roll developed at CVS – same price as S L but took 2 weeks and the quality was mediocre. One hundred percent recommend going to S L for getting a disposable camera roll developed. Couldn't have been easier, and you get the most out of your pictures!
