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.
