We now have a dropbox at Collingwood Yards!
Orders will be collected every morning during the week and have the same turnaround time as film dropped at the lab.
Huge thanks to @collingwood_yards for having us!
During the holiday period we’ll be open on the following days:
Monday December 22nd
Monday December 29th
Our dropbox will be available all other times, and business will return to normal on Monday January 5th.
Huge thanks for your ongoing support during what’s been a very transformative year. We’re super excited for what’s in store in 2026.
Happy holidays! ❤️🥳📸

24-hour turnaround for colour negative (C41) film on weekdays! Any dropped over the weekend will be processed on Monday.
1-week turnaround for all other film types.
We’ve got a new home!
After processing your film behind closed doors for the past year, we’ve secured a shop just around the corner at 28 Hotham Street, Collingwood.
As of tomorrow—our opening hours will be Monday to Thursday, 12-5:30pm.
We’re super excited to finally meet our new customers, and reconnect with those we haven’t seen for a while.
Swing by and say hello!
We’re processing film again!
After a few months relocating, Open Lab’s now at 25 Easey Street, Collingwood—just down the road from our old spot.
We’ve switched from self-service to a traditional drop-in model for now, just pop your rolls in the dropbox and your film will be processed in 2 business days.
Huge thanks to @paradisealleycollingwood for giving us a space to call home! Be sure to grab a drink while you’re here.
Head to our website for more info.
Today from 2-6pm is the last time our doors will be open at 7 Easey Street.
It’s been an emotional time wrapping up, but I’m super excited for this next chapter and feeling optimistic about what’s ahead.
Starting now, all new orders will have a 1-week turnaround as we transition to our new location—just around the corner!
HUGE thank you to the amazing community on Easey Street for having me and making this such a memorable chapter.
To Open Lab members and our wider community—I’ll be forever grateful for your support during these early years. Thank you ❤️
More details coming soon!

Huge thanks to everyone who’s stopped by the lab this past week! It’s been a joy meeting so many of you and catching up with familiar faces.
A quick reminder—self-service processing isn’t available, but you’re welcome to drop in, check out the space and ask any questions.
Open till 6pm!
Starting tomorrow—we’re opening our doors till the end of summer in what will be Open Lab’s last days at 7 Easey Street, Collingwood.
This is a chance to collect negs, film orders and have a peek at the self-service photo lab we were so close to opening.
Our building’s being redeveloped at the end of Feb and we’re moving to a new location.
Come through and have a chat!
