Yes, development from a professional film lab is included with your purchase of an Analog camera. We know developing disposable cameras can be a pain, that is why we made the process so easy! Just drop your Analog disposable camera in the included mailer and sit back and relax. Your developed pictures will arrive directly to your phone via the email you used to register your camera.

Your disposable camera pictures will be developed and returned to you no later than 2 business days after we receive them at the film lab (usually it will be the same day). Because of recent stress on the mail system, we have noticed return shipments taking longer than usual. On average, it has taken anywhere from 2-8 days to receive a customer's returned package. Note that this is only an average and some packages may take even longer. If you have shipped your Analog camera back to us with the included mailer for mail-in development, don't worry we fully expect to receive your package; even if it might be taking a little longer than usual. In normal conditions, return shipping will take anywhere from 3-6 business days.

In addition to processing your film, we include digital scans of every exposure. You still get authentic disposable camera shots, but in a format perfect for easy sharing with friends and family on social media accounts (like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Tumblr and Pinterest) as well as messages (like text, WhatsApp and email). When launching the company, we surveyed many film photographers, and the overwhelming majority of the artists valued quality digital scans of their work. We love shooting film and staying in the moment, but realize that it was about time for a few very necessary improvements to help streamline developing (and make it cheaper).

At this time, physical prints are not included in your purchase. This is one of the reasons we are able to keep the disposable camera and development so cheap! If you receive a picture that you love, and want to get it printed, just reach out to us at shop@analogcc.com and we’ll let you know our favorite places for printing disposable camera pictures. One of the reasons why we chose to offer only digital scans of your film is because of how easy it has become to send digital files for printing. Using one of our recommended printers will produce the exact same results as if the film processor printed the images; both are just printing digital copies! That said, we do hope to offer prints in the near future, so keep an eye out for the addition of that feature.

All components of the camera are recycled to the best of our ability after processing. Let us be the first to say it: We do not like the term "disposable camera." It does not accurately reflect what happens to the camera after it is sent in to the film lab. We don't simply throw these "single-use" plastics away. That does not mean we are not always trying to make it more sustainable and improve what we currently have. The vision for the future of Analog includes a redesigned product that is much more sustainable and easily recyclable or even reusable. We think shooting simplified film photography is a way of life, one that goes hand in hand with protecting the environment. We want to thank you for your support of our small business so we can turn the “disposable” camera of the past, into the “sustainable” camera of tomorrow.

We accept returns. We are so confident that you'll love everything you get (and how cheap you got it), we offer a satisfaction guarantee. If you receive a damaged product, have mail that never arrived, or have any other issues, please contact us at shop@analogcc.com.
