As far as I know, there is only 3-4 active film developing store that provide reliable and affordable film developing services. Those that are on the list are Colordotcom Photolab, Darkroom8, Bang Bang Gang at Publika, and SPPG Lab at Johor.  All of them have their own facebook page and website so feel free to Google search them.  But among those 4, one of it is ran by someone who is quiet young and that guy is Yan Heng Lee, owner/founder of Darkroom8. I first know about his business when he promote darkroom equipment at an affordable price which includes developing tank, thermometer, changing bag, and etc. I got most of my developing kit from him and that was it. Fast forward to few years later, there was sudden surge of demand for film photography and he took advantage of it by providing and selling film while at the same time giving quality film processing and scanning at a very affordable price. He has a huge online presence within the film photography community here in Malaysia and is the usual go-to place for film developing and scanning for many enthusiasnt, including me.  So by chance, I was able to visit his place and had the opportunity to talk with him for a bit. Darkroom8 is located above Cafe Etc along Jalan Tun H.S.Lee (close to Petaling Street) and his workplace is very minimal and organized. When we visited, we saw a few film that he is getting ready to develop and he seem to use JOBO processing machine instead of the usual Fujifilm machine.  Someday I will try to do a series of interview with other Film Developing store but it might take some times.
