Heh, developing by yourself always the best, or can send to me =D...

Anyways, since Ruby handles alot of Ilford products, they're probably the best ones to go to... not much shops around that do manual b/w developing that is really easily accessible.

Well, in terms of quality most labs are so-so, since they usually do stuff in bulk, and probably recycle most of their chemicals, but the results are still pretty good if you're not really into the finer details of tonality, grain and all that stuff... if you're really looking for quality, probably try to find a clubsnapper who does b/w photography and does developing services...

rgds,
patrick

I think it is probably correct that there are no "labs" that provide a VERY HIGH STANDARD ("HIGHEST STANDARD") in Singapore.

However if one is willing to pay extra for postage/insurance etc to get it done overseas, then I think it might be better to send the processing to Desmond Kwan.
