Excellent range at good prices
Firstcall offer an excellent range of products at reasonable prices. I get my Adox XT3 from them which they sell cheaper than other places and which is a great, environmentally friendly developer. Quick delivery and helpful customer service. Highly recommended retailer.

The best supplier for film and darkroom supplies - all the established brands and a few lesser known options too.

Hi Gerald,
Thank you for the fantastic review, we really appreciate it.
Great to hear you value the range, we work hard to make sure we’ve got all the trusted darkroom and film brands covered, along with some of the more niche options that can be harder to find. Pleased the pricing and delivery options are hitting the mark too.
Thanks again for your support.

Hi William,
Thank you for the fantastic review, it’s great to hear this.
We’re really pleased everything arrived safely and on time, and that the team could help both over email and on the phone. It sounds like you’ve got a proper darkroom setup going there.
We work hard to make sure there’s a good range for both those starting out and more experienced analogue photographers, so it’s great to hear that came through.
Thanks again for your support, and enjoy the shooting and printing.
All the best,

I have been using Firstcall for years
I have been using Firstcall for years. They have always provided excellent service. Earlier this year, I was looking for bulbs for my De Vere enlarger, and they went out of their way to help, even though they didn't stock the right ones. HOWEVER, a couple of months ago, I mistakenly ordered too much D76 film developer (with expiry date December 2027, and out of stock on their website.) I didn't think about returning some of it until last week. When I spoke to someone at Firstcall, they said I'd missed their 14 returns window, so they wouldn't be willing to take it back. Disappointed by their inflexibility on this one.

Hi Stephen,
Thank you for your review, and for your continued support over the years, it’s genuinely appreciated.
We’re really pleased to hear that your past experiences with us have been positive, and that you’ve found our team helpful.
Regarding the D-76 developer, we completely understand why you reached out to ask if we could assist. As discussed, the order was placed on 30th July 2025, so the items had been with you for just over 8 months before the return was requested.
Our standard returns window is 14 days, and while we do always try to be as flexible as possible where we can, there are limits to what we’re able to accommodate. This is particularly important with chemical products, as once they have left us, we’re unable to verify how they have been stored. Even if unopened, it would not be appropriate for us to resell returned chemicals to another customer without that certainty.
We do appreciate you taking the time to speak with us about it, and we’re sorry we weren’t able to offer a different outcome on this occasion.
If there’s anything else you need, or if we can help with advice on getting the most out of the developer you have, we’re always here to help.
All the best,
Firstcall Photographic

Proper service
I wanted something they did not stock from Jobo and they sorted it for me. Friendly communication and getting the job done. First class service like in the old days when and dealer would get you anything from a distributor they dealt with. Good to know some places believe in service still.

Easy to find what I was looking for and it arrived in the mail quickly - both time I've used them - well packaged.
Had to laugh at the email asking me to leave a review though - addressed as "Hi {first name},"! :-) Regardless, happy to recommend.

Hi Phil,
Thanks for the great review, and for pointing that out, gave us a chuckle too. We’ll get that little gremlin sorted. Really pleased to hear you found everything easily and that your orders arrived quickly and well packaged both times. That consistency is exactly what we aim for.
Thanks again for the recommendation, and for keeping us on our toes.

First call are a good company to deal with.
I've been buying black and white film and processing chemicals from Firstcall for a few years now. I recently bought some Adox developer and fixer. It arrived promptly and is exactly what I ordered. I find the Adox FX39 11 developer works consistently well with Fomoplan film. I like the fact I can buy it in smaller quantities, as I tend to do a few films at a time and then none for a few months, so although the small bottles are not as economical there is less wastage.

Hi Allan,
Thank you for such a thoughtful review, it’s really appreciated.
It’s great to hear you’ve been using us for your film and chemistry over the years, and that everything arrived promptly and as expected. Your comments on the Adox FX-39 II are really helpful too, especially around using smaller quantities to avoid waste, that’s a great way to work if you’re developing in batches.
Thanks again for your continued support, and we look forward to helping with your next round of film.

I made the same experience as Mairead Holohan October 22nd last year. Your service was excellent, but the additional costs are quite impressive. I also read your comment to the mentioned review. Too bad. Thanks Brexit!

Thanks Eckart, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad the service itself hit the mark, even though we completely understand how frustrating the customs charges can be. Unfortunately those costs sit outside our control, but we always try to be as transparent as possible about why they happen. Hopefully we’ll be able to help you again in the future, and we’ll continue doing our best to make specialist products available despite the hurdles.

Firstcall Photo have a great range of products
Firstcall Photo have a great range of products and generally have the things you can't find anywhere else ( I recently bought the excellent Stearman 810 development system). Prices are very reasonable and speedy delivery has always been my experience. They are my first port of call for anything photographic !

Thanks John for such a brilliant endorsement. The Stearman 810 is a cracking bit of kit, so it’s great to hear it found a good home. We do our best to stock the slightly harder-to-find stuff, so it’s lovely to know that’s coming through. We’ll be ready when you need us again.

Bought this product because I saw a video on YouTube. I used it on some untreated wood then used my Xtool Ultra and I was really satisfied with how the photo came out. Will purchase again.
