BAPhL – Büchsenhausen Analog Photo Lab
The Büchsenhausen Analog Photo Lab (BAPhL) provides equipment, a darkroom, and the materials to process black-and-white and color film photography from negative development to medium-size paper prints in black and white or color. (The equipment for making color prints is in preparation). Thus we provide in Büchsenhausen a unique offer in Innsbruck for artists as well as ambitious analog photography enthusiasts!
EQUIPMENT:
The BAPhL is equipped with all necessary utensils, machines, and chemistry for the development of black and white films as well as exposure and development of paper prints.
