Bah. I hate this. I think when I am in the US in june, I will drop off my film to some developer like Precision camera and have them ship to Singapore.

The dried water spots can be washed off if you have time to do so.
If not, sometimes I just use a lenspen and clean it away... not exactly standard procedure neither is it recommended, but in a pinch it works.

B&W easy to develop yourself, no point getting shop to do for you. DIY gives you more control.
I only send B&W for shop to develop only if I amassed more than 40 rolls from a tour or holiday.
Color (portra) I always must send for development, coz I never managed to learn how to develop. So cheem. The irritating thing about color development is that very few shops are prepared to push or pull at all, nevermind multiple stops. So for portra which is supposed to be very good for pushing, many shops refuse to push. Also, got some shops are capable of pushing, but they often are not very open to doing so because they fear that they might get blame if the push results not good.
I have checked there are several internet websites to whom you can send your film canisters and they will let you FTP the scanned images. This is very convenient but very ex.

master tay gave me an A&A squirrel brush, he say very good for cleaning soiled negatives....zzz i just remember i havent paid him for that
I have found squirrel brush quite useful to remove dust particles and other debris before the scan

I have the same experience with my Tri-X from Fotohub (C'wealth)...my first 12 frames have dried spots.
I guess its a sign to start DIY....
