    Undoubtedly one of if not the best place to go to, to get your film developed here in Singapore, due to price point and quality of scans/prints, prices of film here are outta this world. Would strongly recommend patronizing this place rather than the much acclaimed Triple D and other places.

    The best place in SG to process/scan/buy film. The owners are really friendly and helpful. Developing and scanning film costs $12 for colour film (C-41) and $17 for B&W films. They also sell a decent variety of B&W and colour negative films at a lower price than most other places. They also give you a $1 off voucher for your next film processing for every roll of film you buy

    Not a pleasant experience at all. Would not have came here if our fav shop was closed on weekends & we needed our pic urgently. Not sure if it’s the same uncle who earned all the raves in previous reviews but the attitude of the uncle who took my child’s passport was very off-putting.

    Before the take, he declared that he would not take my child’s photo if he cries. Ok..we accepted it. Barely a min, my 3 y/o smiled (which was a natural thing to do). The uncle kept saying “u still wanna take? If he’s like that, I’m not gonna take cos there’s a lot of people waiting for me.”. C’mon! There was only 2 ladies who just walked in. Only 1 of them was going to take her passport pic.

    In the end, we did not see the end photo that we paid for (don’t even need to talk about choosing). The uncle curtly said he would email us an hour later. The 2 stars I gave – was for punctuality. Enough said.

    I tried this place because they were the only lab open on the Monday CNY holiday, and I’m so glad I did! The owner is absolutely lovely. He developed, scanned and printed a roll of 120 film for me in under an hour. The scans are so much better than the place I usually use, and better than I can do at home. Very reasonably priced, especially for film! I will be making the effort to come here in future. Highly recommended!

    I came to this place just because of so many good reviews on google. This place is good for students or amateurs. If you are professionals or do serious works, go to somewhere else. Or merely buy the film rolls since they sell a few cents cheaper than other places. The only thing I’m satisfied with this place is the film development. The rest of the services are really below average. I guess that’s because Uncle has many customers to serve with limited resources. Uncle won’t bother to speak extra few words to answer your questions, sometimes becomes impatient because the biz is good good nowadays with film comeback. If you go there and see the way they handle your developed films it is simply horrendous. They stack hundreds of developed rolls in an open space with flying dusts and when they move them they don’t pay any precaution whatsoever and they look like tangled long hairs or a bunch of trash. I got multiple rolls with irreparable scratches, dusts and hairs. Scanning wise, again it’s for amateurs. You don’t get a great result since the file size is compressed and they scan all types of films with default settings without making any additional adjustments. If you have to scan, please only choose the color scanning. Black and White scanning is definitely not recommended.

    Tried this place as I have been wanting to try out the different film developers in Singapore. I tried the others who develop at a cheaper rate and what I can say is the uncle’s development of BW films are at a different level.

    Much deeper blacks and overall have a better feel of the photograph. The uncle also printed out these small cards containing previews of my photos. Really worth I would say for the price bump compared to others.

    Develop and scan colors turnover is within one day. Super fast. BW you will have to wait a week. The quality of the color scans are good.

    It is true that uncle’s shop is busy and they serve one by one. So please be patient. When you go to the shop if you wanna develop you gotta fill up the form and that will take time.

    I would say this is good for us hobbist as the scans are base 16.

    Ps. If you see any faded photos, it’s cause I noob got the settings wrong on my camera.

    Not much has to be said about this legendary of an establishment in Singapore – quick & probably the lowest available price point locally for developing/scanning of film services. Offers same-day collection if you send in your film before 1pm-or so! At times they do offer some of the rarer film stock you would find in a conventional Kodak franchise store for a really competitive and good price point – unlike many of the other stores out there that mark up drugstore-grade film stock like mad

    Tested my leica m6 camera with Kodak Gold 200 and sent the film to shop to processing. This is my 1st attempt using Leica M6 film camera with Kodak Gold 200… i am glad i got it process in WCC.

    Sent in on Sat afternoon and got my soft copies via email on same day 🙂 I also decided to purchase more film rolls from WCC. Overally the service in WCC was fast and prices of film rolls was decent.

    Due to social distancing, they only allow 2 persons in a shop at one time so i was in the queue and waited patiently. Its good to go in knowing what you need so retail staff can serve you quick plus payment is via paynow.

    I looking forward to send in more of my film rolls to WCC for processing 🙂

    Keep up the good service plus fast processing speed.

    Echoing much of the sentiments mentioned here. Uncle and auntie are very warm and welcoming. $12 to develop your film + 16 base scan. A WeTransfer link will be emailed to you containing your photos. WeTransfer is fuss-free and downloads were fast. Quality of scan is great as well. Usually dropped my films off at 3/4pm and managed to get the download link at 10:30pm/11pm. However, do note that turnaround is still 1 day!

    Buying a roll of film will offset $1 from the film development cost (aka $12-$1=$11).

    Used to frequent another well-known processing lab but its quality (both service and scans) have been going downhill.

    Glad i managed to find them even though its quite a distance from my place. The affable Auntie and Uncle at Whampoa is more than enough to get me going back to them.

    Do support them!

    Very affordable place to develop and scan film, might be the cheapest in Singapore. Film prices are also sold at very low costs as the owner doesn’t mark up the prices too much. Uncle is kind and friendly but sometimes send you the wrong scans, just have to call them and let them know that you got the wrong files and they will send you the right ones

    Overall its is one of my go-to places to develop film, nice food nearby as well, and the friendly staff makes it worth the trip there.

He also reassured me to bring cameras over if I encountered any problems in the future and he will try his best to help – super touched. I also promptly received the scans later the same night. Usually their service has been fast during the weekdays and a lil bit longer during the weekends. Nonetheless, they always deliver amazing quality and service!

    I don’t usually give google reviews but this shop deserves one! I was turned down by other shops as my reel was broken and out of the canister. I know there’s little hope for my first reel of film, I didn’t give up searching for a possible place. I chance upon this shop which really good reviews, however it wasn’t anywhere near for me. so I decided to call first and enquire. The uncle was so nice and say it’s possible to develop, of course the outcome depends on how much it was exposed to light. Thankful to receive an email of my developed photos, thank you uncle for giving my broken reel a chance.

    This place is one of the few remaining film processing places in Singapore. You can get your film processed and digitally scanned within 3-4 hours at only 10 SGD. The service staff is friendly and my film rolls were processed perfectly by them.

    When take a bus from the Toa Payoh MRT, you definitely be able to spot the unmissable bright yellow shop exterior.

    If you are nearby, it is definitely worth using their services.

    I’ve come here a few times and service is OK.
    But my recent photos taken for an Australian passport were rejected as the quality was not good enough.

    It’s a hassle because now I will need to go to a photo shop recommended by the high commission and get new photos done and another trip back to the high commission to drop off the new photos.

    So come here if you need photos for visas and Singapore ID cards but NOT if you need it for an Australian passport application.

    Good service, although when I went it was a bit crowded and hence things moved a bit slowly…

    Google Reviews wasn’t hyping this place up at all. I arrived at a slightly busy period but the uncle was very friendly and efficient in dealing with customers. Developing a roll costs $12. I asked to keep my canister and uncle was very accommodating!

    Turnaround time was impressive too; my photos were delivered via an emailed WeTransfer link at 1am the next day. Very pleased with my experience and I would recommend this to my friends.

    Awesome service and fast turnaround! Went there about 3+pm to drop off my films and received it around 10pm via my email! Aunty and Uncle were so friendly, do support their business when thinking of a place to develop your films!

    Lovely place – the aunty and uncle were very easy going. I’m still relatively new to films and unsure of the development process but Uncle was very nice to explain everything. Also, I got my films back in 2 days – very fast!! $12 per roll.
    If you buy a roll from them, can go back and develop for $1 off
    Although I stay at the end of sg, it’s worth the travel to the store!

    I’ve tried a few photo labs. By far this is the the best. Their rolls are decently priced. 1 day development time and also if you a 3d film camera like me they crop each frame. Other film shops just send me compiled digital copy. So for me the $12 development cost is justifiable.

    The best film lab in Singapore! I’ve tried quite a few different labs in the past for 35mm and 120mm film and Whampoa Colour Centre is by far the superior lab and now the ONLY film lab I trust with my photos. Their scanning is top quality as well. The service is excellent too – they are experts at what they do and they do it well. I also go here to buy most of my film as they have a great selection and the price is really good. The nice uncle and auntie who run the place are always so kind to give advice and tips as they are very experienced with photography, both film and digital. Their prints are also high quality and they have a great selection of sizes available

    The shopkeepers, antiie and uncle, are very nice and patient, and they also understand the specifications required for ID photos. I went to take the photos required for the passport, and after waiting for about 15 minutes, the process was completed, and I also got the electronic draft, which passed the website review in one go. very good experience.

    Definitely one of the best film shop around. Uncle & auntie are always so friendly, willing to help you. Best service that if you send colour film to develop & scan they will send u back the night itself. The only sad thing is probably there is no more 4 base scan but all else is good . …

    Film is definitely Alive at WCC. One of the best film lab that has been around since the 80s. If you’re searching for a quality photo prints, film development and scanning lab, this is the place to go. There’s also a great variety of colour films available here too.

    I always send my films to be developed here! $12 for 16-base scan. Very good quality. Aunty and Uncle usually say they will send email by the next day but I usually get the same evening. Very efficient! They also will give $1 off for every film roll you buy.

    Just some of my digital prints that they helped to develop and I’ve to say that the quality is ! Was recommended this place by my friend and I’m so pleased to find out that they only charge you for digital copies and from there, you can develop whichever photo that catches your eye for keepsake. It’s such a different way of doing business but it works! They’ll upload the photos on a file sharing website (akin to Dropbox) and you’ll just download from there. You can collect back your roll of film within 3 months. I only dropped off my film at around 7.20pm and they still received my order at $12 for 16 base films. I got my photos back at 10am the next day! Super fast turnaround. The guy also taught me how to use my flash for my disposable camera. Thank you so much!

    I scan my photos here regularly. The uncle and aunty are very friendly and they are keeping film alive! Cost is $12 for development and scanning. Keep in mind they use 16 base scan with file size of about 5mb per photo. They also sell film at a very reasonable price! They will give a 1 dollar voucher for each roll of film developed. Vouchers go to future development cost. The uncle is also very helpful and will give you tips on your photography if asked and not too busy. Totally recommend for film purchasing and development/scanning.

    Very good store, definitely worth recommending.
    The negatives sent at 4:00 p.m. received the electronically scanned version in the middle of the night. Buying the film here has a 1 yuan deduction for processing and scanning. The color photo scan is 12 Singapore dollars. You can get the photo in one working day, steamed or stamped ! The store owner is also very kind.
    I wanted to keep the film cassette, but I forgot to tell the store when I sent the negatives, and the store even helped me find them when I picked them up.

    The uncle who runs this shop is absolutely phenomenal! He is one of the kindest film shop owners I have ever met and he never fails to lift my mood whenever I pass through. He uses Noritsu for his scanning and needless to say, the quality of the scans are impeccable. I have never seen such clarity and vibrancy in my shots. I would recommend him highly to anyone looking to buy, develop or scan film.

    The best place in Singapore to get your photos developed. Uncle and Auntie are really really nice and genuine people. You can tell they are really dedicated and passionate about their jobs. Prices are also one of the lowest in Singapore. I sent my rolls for developing and received the scans within 12 hours! Photo quality is amazing, really appreciate how hard they work staying up till late to get our photos developed. Hard to find such genuine establishments nowadays. I’ll definitely be a regular here, amazing!

    I have been coming here to develop my films even though it is out of the way. Today, the uncle went the extra mile to patiently help me out with my camera. He also reassured me to bring cameras over if I encountered any problems in the future and he will try his best to help – super touched. I also promptly received the scans later the same night. Usually their service has been fast during the weekdays and a lil bit longer during the weekends. Nonetheless, they always deliver amazing quality and service!

    Your films will be sent to you in less than a day via email, hardcopy and negatives can be collected next visit.
