FILM LAB STORE
My name is Yevhen, and photography has been one of my main passions for many years.
Film Lab Store is not a typical online shop with a large warehouse and endless stock. It is my personal project about film photography, cameras, film and accessories, development and scanning. Most items on the site are cameras, film, accessories and materials from my own collection, or things I have personally tested and can honestly describe. Some items exist in only one copy.
I shoot both on modern digital cameras and on film. My favourite digital camera is the Nikon Z9, but I enjoy working with medium format, classic SLRs, rangefinders, and other analogue cameras just as much. For me, what matters is not only the result but the process of shooting itself.
On this site I independently run a blog and publish articles about film photography, developing, scanning, working with camera equipment, and personal shooting experience. I try to share real observations and practical knowledge rather than promotional content — things that can be useful for both beginners and experienced photographers.
Although photography remains my hobby, over the years of practice I have accumulated enough experience to confidently work with various film formats, photographic processes, and equipment. Many things I write or talk about are based on personal experiments, tests, and thousands of frames shot.
Film makes you think before pressing the shutter. It is tangible — you have 36 frames and each one matters. I love the process: from loading the camera to seeing the finished negative on the reel after developing.
One of the goals of this project is to support and develop the community of analogue photography enthusiasts in Ukraine. Film photography remains a niche hobby, and I want to contribute to the preservation and promotion of analogue photography by helping people find materials, equipment, and useful information.
In addition to selling equipment and photo materials, I also offer film development and scanning services. You can learn more about this in the corresponding sections of the site.

Film Lab Store is not a team of managers or a big online shop. The website, blog, film developing, scanning, and most of the inventory are run by me alone. Replies may sometimes take a little longer — but you are talking directly to someone who works with film and cameras every single day. I shoot on both film and digital, test cameras, work with different formats and run this site entirely on my own. So there are no accidental descriptions here — I try to write the way I would explain things to a friend who is just getting into film photography.
If you don't know where to start, which film to choose, or whether it's possible to develop old found film — just message me. I'll help without any formality.
Thank you
