LAFOT Studio 2.5

Established in 1986, Lafot became famous as the only Polish manufacturer of photographic machines called minilabs. The entirely Polish company employs domestic specialists who are known for their wide expertise and long-standing experience. Jan Lalek, the founder and the owner, has always been fascinated by photography. A physicist by education, an inventor by avocation he combined his knowledge in many fields (electronics, chemistry, optics, colorimetry) to create innovative designs. His ardor and passion were two essential features which helped him build devices like color analyser or darkroom light meter in the difficult time of Communism. In the early 90's the market of such manual equipment as well as automatic enlargers started to diminish and the process of developing photos was now a domain of machines.
