Back in the days when we walked uphill both ways to and from school, and lived in a shoebox in the middle of the road with one black rotary phone in the house, there was this weird stuff called 35mm film.
We used it in "cameras" and it helped us "take pictures".
The Slideprinter (aka The Denver Digital Imaging Center) is great for anyone from amateurs to the most demanding professional. Custom development, scanning, retouching, printing - you name it. If you still use Ektachrome or FujiChrome color slide film, this is the place - regardless of you you feel about the alleged obsolescence of non-digital cameras.
There are many legacy/antique cameras that use films that most people haven't heard of. Where to go? Ask here first.
What Listen Up is to Audio/Video, The Slideprinter is to photography. Where else can you get a custom Giclee print made?

I had a unique experience towards the end of the standard C-41 process color film print era (pretty much the last film everyone reading this probably used). I had purchased a relatively uncommon C-41 B&W film, and left it in one of my old Nikons for 8 years. The film broke when I was trying to rewind it, and I gave the canister to a standard lame processor (Sam's). Alas, since I removed the canister in the dark of my closet, I had no idea how much was in the metal roll. Turned out it was about an inch - the rest was stuck on my camera spindle, undeveloped, with no proof of film type, other than my word.
I didn't know if anyone in town would be able to trust me and process the undeveloped film still stuck in the camera since it did not have any appropriate labeling indicating the chemical development process.
I gave The Slideprinter my closed camera and they used a special test to verify the film type, because if we were wrong it could have ruined very some expensive equipment of theirs.
The especially LOVELY gift amongst this whole crazy experience is that I was able to convince my 9 year old my Nikon FG was indeed a "time travel" machine. Before I tried to process anything, I had half a roll left, and I used the remainder of the film under the guise that I had a magic secret box. Thus, in the same roll, she could see time zoom by! To see that look in a 9-year old's eyes!
It was MAGICAL. Film can still be magical, just like a classic car. I highly recommend The Slideprinter/Denver Digital Imaging Center as a quality business to treat special photography needs with class.
