Prices and Information

B&W development

$4 for single roll. Send two identical rolls, $3 each.

Prices are for any film (except Fomapan), any film speed, pushing is free; please indicate. No sleeves included, as it will increase the cost (and the price of this service).

I can do both 120 and 35mm film. Timing depends on your exposure of film and the film itself. I have other chemicals too which can be used at your request (i.e. Perceptol, T-Max Developer, Rodinal), additional charges may apply depending on developer used.

For expedited service (turnaround time 1-2 days), there will be an additional charge of 50%.

How does the film get to me and back to you?

There are a few ways where you can send the film to me, and back to you.

Sending the film

The most preferred way would be that you send me the film through mail, or come directly to our place at Jurong West (Jaime), Serangoon/Kovan (Yuen) area.

Otherwise, it would be possible that we meet at a mutually accepted location. Most likely, on weekdays, at Boon Lay, AMK, Kovan, Serangoon stations and only Boon Lay (Jaime) or Kovan/Serangoon (Yuen) MRT station on weekends . I sometimes go to City Hall on weekends, but this is quite irregular.

Collection
I most likely will mail it back to you, unless you have special requests. You can also collect it at my place.

If you have sent me a single roll or two, I most likely can send the pictures to you through the net before I send out the physical stuff. Preferably through MSN Messenger, as email can be a bit limiting at 10mb per mail.

----------------------------------
How long does this process take?

Generally, for small scale jobs (1-2 rolls), it will take five days maximum. Please don't send it to me on Mondays though, as I might need the weekend. Also, if you need it in a hurry, 1-2 days, please do indicate. Expedited service might not be available at all times, and will cost 50% more than normal charges.

If I am facing a 'peak season' or having other work related concerns, I will inform you, and it might take a bit longer.

What happens to your pictures after I send them?
Usually, if the sending was successful, I usually delete them. I only keep them for this interim period to ensure that if anything goes wrong, I can resend them again to you.

Disclaimer: While all efforts to ensure mishaps do not happen, in any event that a mishap does happen, I shall claim no responsibility. This is due to the nature of film photography, whereby there are too many variables that need to be accounted for before any accountability can occur. I ask for your understanding.
