5 Best Places to Develop Film in Singapore

After finishing a roll of film, the next step in the film photography process is to develop and scan your film roll so you can see the memories you have captured. Picking the best film lab is crucial to make sure that your photos are processed properly so that you can get the best photos out of your film! If that sounds daunting to you, don’t worry.

We have picked the 5 best places to develop film in Singapore (with price comparisons at the bottom), for you to easily decide where to process your film.

 

1. Whampoa Colour Centre

Situated in the heart of Whampoa, Whampoa Colour Centre (or otherwise known as WCC), offers affordable and fast film development in Singapore. This film lab has been around for a long time (since 1983!) so you can be assured of quality development and scans every time.
