Why Relics?

📷

Boutique Experience

We aren't a factory. We are a boutique shop where every camera is hand-selected and every roll is treated as a unique piece of art. This focus allows us to maintain a standard of excellence that high-volume labs simply can't match.

🧪

Small Batch Precision

By processing in small batches, we ensure tighter control over chemistry and scanning. It means your film spends more time in the hands of a technician and less time on a conveyor belt.

🛠️

The CLA Standard

Our gear isn't just "used"—it's curated. Every camera undergoes a full CLA and film test so that when it reaches you, it’s ready to perform exactly as it did the day it was made.
