    There’s no other place in Singapore I’d trust my negatives with.The degree of attention and care poured into the development of my images is core to what brings me back to Grains and Such. Chung and the team’s eye for texture and their sensibility to the technicalities of film emulsion are absolute standouts.

    It’s really simple and easy to use their services, steps on how to send in films and on what format they accept is all written on their website. Overall, quality of scans is superbly good! Thank you!

    Been using grainsandsuch for a year and I am very pleased with the quality of scans received. Having shot film for some years, this is notably the best lab in Singapore! The price to quality ratio makes it highly favourable and the convenience of dropping film at any time is great. Thanks for the amazing work you put into my photos!

    Love this lab for film development. I’ve developed both colour and B&W film here a few times. Overall, the results are consistent and reliable. Turnaround time is reasonable, and the scans come back clean with good colour accuracy. A solid choice if you’re serious about film.

  • You can leave your film at our drop off box at 49A Chun Tin Road, S (599623).

    Take the DTL to Beauty World station and go up Exit B. Walk about 5 mins up Chun Tin Road till you see 49A on your left. The drop off box is located on the left of the temple on the 1st floor.

    Please ensure you bring your own ziplock bag and write your name on your parcel so that we know it's you. 

  • Yes, you can give instructions to the driver to drop it off at our drop off box. 

  • TIFFs are RAW files offering 16 bits of dynamic range per RGB channel. Compared to 8-bit JPEGs, both have the same resolution but TIFFs are more workable for post-processing, hence the bigger file size.

    Choose the TIFF add on if you plan to edit your pictures.

  • Please refer to up-to-date lead times on our home page.

  • Yes we do! There is no surcharge for disposables. Just send your disposable camera in and we'll take care of the rest. You can try to retrieve the film to save on postage cost as well, there are plenty of guides online. 

  • Small Resolution/4-base is not recommended for most purposes. People pick this option when they want to see how pictures turn out when, for example, testing a newly bought camera. On occasion, Small Resolution will turn out slightly pixelated on Instagram stories and posts. 

    Medium Resolution/16-base is the most popular and highly recommended scan size. It is suitable for social media, websites, and light printing (up to 10R) without hurting memory space. 

    Large Resolution/64-base is the beast. The file sizes are huge so pick this option only if you have the need to do large format printing or excessive cropping.
