How much is a strip at Weegee's Lounge, and can I pay by card?
The price is posted on the machine. Cash only — bring coins or small notes. Most analog booths in this range run a few pounds, euros or dollars a strip.
Is Weegee's Lounge a real film photo booth or a digital one?
Real film. Prints are black-and-white, developed with real chemistry inside the machine, so expect to wait a few minutes for the strip to drop.
Do I need to book, or can I just walk up to Weegee's Lounge?
Just walk up. It's a coin-op booth, not a hire service — no booking, no attendant. If the venue is open, the booth is on.
How many photos do you get at Weegee's Lounge, and how long does it take?
One strip of four shots in black and white. The machine takes the four in quick succession, then develops the strip on the spot — usually three to five minutes before it drops into the slot.
