Welcome

We are committed to processing and printing of B&W film, we bring reliability, quality and affordability to film processing. Due to the gradual decline in film and advances in digital photography in Kuala Lumpur and around Malaysia, many laboratories have now ceased providing a B&W service but we believe there is still a place for quality processed and printed B&W film. We strongly support the Film Revival Project.



We have a small team of technicians dedicated to producing consistent quality results.

Using high quality Epson & Nikon scanning equipment, we can convert your black & white films to digital files for you to use on your own computer.

Services & Price List

Black and white films are processed to the highest standards by trained technicians who monitor process control in-house to maintain quality and reliability.

* Please ensure that the film emulsion type is clearly visible.
* Films cut and returned in plastic sleeves.

Photo Filters for Black and White Photography


 Red filter
Harsh reproduction, intense color deviation, strong cloud formation, good rendering of distance, even with haze.
 Orange filter
Similar effect as red filter, but not such harsh contrast and fewer color deviation effects.
Yellow filter
Functions without color deviation.
Green filter
Best for landscapes with a lot of forest and meadows. Creates a contrast between different shades of green.
Blue filter
Intenifies haze, reduces contrast, produces a mist effect, obscures the distance.
