An alternative is to buy a film scanner and do it yourself ..if you have time. Sell the scanner away thereafter. It will definitely be cheaper...if you have the time...

you may want to try Grace photo lab at Sunset way...price's reasonable.

thanks fungoer! May I know how reasonable is it? I have ask some shops and they quote me around $5 per roll of developed film.

Beside the price, is there a difference in the resolution and quality on the films being scanned among the different shops?

 

[newmemberz]

yes yes... interested to know as well.

Any sample of a scanned film?
never really saw one before... :embrass:

$5 per roll is actually quite affordable. Some places if u dun develop it with them they may even charge a handling charge. there are different resolution scanning but one of the higher resolution on is 16 base scanning.

Yup, anyone has a sample of picture scanned from negatives?


Saw a flatbed scanner with film scanner as well "CanoScan 4200F"

Any comments regarding such scanners? Anyone use it before?

these consumer scanners are allright, but i personally feel the scanned results are not up to standard of the scanning in labs yet(if not labs would not invest in costly machines)
