Whampoa Colour Centre

I bought a film camera to return to my photography roots of shooting B&W. In the 80s I developed my own film at school, it was just after Mr Ong opened his shop! Fast forward a few years, I had my roll developed at WCC, first time shooting in film in over 26 years. I went to pick up my negatives and prints today, and the privilege to spend an hour chatting with Mr Ong about his passion - film. Saw his development area (recognised the film spools and Patterson tanks), had a great sniff of the chemicals! We compared my roll of B&W film prints with B&W digital prints. Learnt a lot as we shot the breeze for an hour. Thank you for your precious time today, I learnt so much and more importantly you have brought back many many happy photographic memories.

my go-to place to develop film, uncle and auntie are so hospitable and genuine. super fast turnover time, always get my pictures within 2.5 hrs after dropping off my film! and always happy with the results ☺️ uncle even gave me stronger, longer-lasting batteries for my cam 🫶🏻

Loveeeeee the swiftness of their service when it comes to developing films, always my go to and my first place to develop ever since starting out film photography! Yesterday I went to develop 2 film rolls and got it back after 1 hour!

I recently started with my film photography journey after finding a working film point and shoot from my school's trash bin. The staff were very friendly and processing was super quick (recently I sent at 2PM, managed to get the email at 7PM!) I find their film stock very affordable also, have already went back for more rolls last week!

Used the uncle’s film drop off service because I went on a Wednesday and they were closed. Received my soft copies at 4pm on Thursday. So genius and efficient!! Thank you uncle and team 😬

The owner is very helpful and kind. Now that I live in SG I will come here every time to buy film, develop, and print. He has a great selection and does a great job

Got my pics by evening when I dropped it off in the afternoon! Process is quick and easy and uncle is friendly! The disposable cameras there is also cheaper than shopee! Will come again

My first time developing film after almost 30 years. The store was closed when I went on a Wednesday but there's a drop off box which makes it so convenient, and no wasted trip! Really appreciate this service haha. Received a WeTransfer link the next day. It was so fast. Thank you! Would definitely like to visit the store when it's opened :)

love LOVE coming here to develop my films and the uncle is always so nice and sweet even though he may not seem like it at times usually by the end of the day, i will receive my developed and scanned film pics and they are GREAT! can always come back to retrieve the negatives unless its past 6 months i believe. but service wise, its quick and simple, usually the uncle doesnt say much but he is really knowledgeable about film related stuff from what i know! he is super nice though he may not seem to be 10/10 pls support and buy rolls here, say hi and be nice to uncle~

Great service, cheap films, fast development. Highly recommend this place for those who are into film photography. I was welcomed by an uncle who is really lovely. I went over to develop my two rolls of Kodak ColourPlus 200. The price of the development to me is acceptable; $10 for 4-base scanning and $12 for 16-base scanning. These include the development, of course. The price of the films does vary depending on how much the shop bought as a whole stock. Generally, it is cheaper than what I have seen so far in Singapore; $4.20 for Kodak ColourPlus 200, $8.00 for Fujifilm X-tra 400. I sent in my film rolls at around 4:30pm. Around 8:00pm, I got my scanned version through the email. The next day, I then proceeded to collect my developed films at the shop. The film was nicely packed into the film sleeves; I also received a small copies of the scanned version for my picture as well. I hope the shop would not close down anytime soon.

DO NOT EVER COME HERE if youre really serious about buying film dont ever come here. the uncle here make me damn pissed. i wouldve broken all his bones if i could. came a few months back to get disposable cameras in bulk for an event. called and ask on the phone and can overhear him saying to his wife sell to me and earn the developing money. when i reached there, he constantly pressured me about coming back here to develop films so i said yes to make him happy. fast forward a few weeks, we needed more cameras, so i called and ask and CONFIRM. the uncle told me there is stock and would reserve for me, so i commited to my peers. when i reached the shop he told me there isn't adequate stock left and when i confronted him about what he told me on the phone he was dismissive and continuously told me "sold already, dont have stock. i know what u told me but we dont have anymore" and had the cheek to say i didnt come back to his shop and develop. i told him i already commited to my peers and he continued being dismissive of what i had to say and served other customers, pushing me aside. not to mention his developing costs are so expensive and takes up to 2 weeks while triple d minilab only charges $10.50 and can do it in one day. its clear to see he doesnt actually care about his customers and just wants to profit off us even speaking behind our backs when he thinks we cant hear. the uncle has made me hate the place i once loved and this experience has made me really frustrated. this is an advice not to go there if you dont want to be treated the same way. an alternative like mentioned above is triple d minilab that is alot cheaper for film development and much faster too
