Great place to get your colour negative film processed in C41 within 15mins. They have a very nice selection of film stocks. You may find some interesting film brands. They also sell Kodak chemicals, my usual place to get Kodak fixer and D76 powder.

Thanks, very useful and neat!
唔該晒
Hello, I recently had two rolls of 120 developed and printed by Sxxxa. The results were utterly disappointing: they were ISO 200 films but the grains were the size of a sesame! They were visible on the digital picture and were even more pronounced on the prints! Hence my question: would you know of any shops that still do analog printing, not digital printing? Many thanks.
