Over the past 40 years, digital cameras have advanced at the speed of light, and analog cameras have become almost obsolete. Recently, film photography has made a world comeback, dominating Instagram with the hashtag #filmisnotdead and creating a tsunami of trends in the indie and hipster communities. In Singapore, there are so few physical stores that sell analog cameras; here is a list of the top five places to get your solution with Singapore Buy!

Located in the building next to the Peninsular shopping center, Chiif Cameras displays photos of breathtaking movies of all shapes and sizes, showing brilliant details of the subject in high quality. This store mainly provides development and printing services, but it also offers analog camera products, even if it does not display them. To learn more about the products, contact the very kind Mr. Chii Fei and he will connect you with something that you would certainly be happy to bring home.
