Much of the cheap prices at even the v pro places are basically minilab machines - ie. When you do want quality archival for future enlargements, minilabs may not be that good, when you are looking at is might be CCD based scanners and for the best - drum scan services. I say it doesn't have to be the pro places, some 1hr labs does do a v good job and price is even cheaper but you need to know where to go. I tried this this () but although it sort of worked on one scanner it didn't on another.Īnybody with any No.8 wire modifications? :D Hmmm, looks like an expensive operation to get anything off comercial quality. Which I think, they will repeat prints until the color matches provided you provide them a sample for them to work towards as a benchmark. When you talk about print or scanning and you want good quality there is also a charge of print color matching which some labs charge more on top for this service. If a pro did your wedding, they would either do it themselves or use a lab they have a real working business relationship with. if one takes film for reprints at diff labs. So I just let them process them and I scan, edit and print myself off my A3+ printer. These days I just process the film, since unlike overseas NZ's small market, they don't import chemicals other than black and white. Get a few sample done and see if you are happy or not. However some 1hr are great from pple I know and there is also the even more pro places but again pple and myself have got scratch marks on the film itself but they don't show up in the prints.

to your $8k Nikons/Canons to your Hasselblads at $30k to sheet film cameras to fridged professional grade film, the quality of prints to me isn't that flash. I could go to a photog specialist place that sells all kinds of film and cameras. Scanning is a lot more difficult than to edit a RAW digital file. May be diff prices per format and to a MB tier size. When film has been processed and cut into strips or to individuals it becomes much more expensive, most labs charge $1 per frame to be scanned and some places $5 and it depends on the size, if you wanted a really big file they could even charge you $100 per shot. so they can throw a whole roll into the machine and press the auto button. those $20 per roll I think, applies to unprocessed film. The problem with that place are the prices unless I missed it. I can't speak for the ScanPix option but I've had good results from this site with other photo prints etc. If no buy now, the market price could actually go right up to $700.
But again if you wait you could well get a dedicated scanner at the $400 mark as well. It is also possible to pick up a $300-400 flatbed scanner as well that does 35mm film - negatives and positive slide film. But again for the same price as a V700 scanner get the dedicated scanner instead. The Epson flatbed scanners does a good job I am not convinced they will hold the same quality when blown to A3 size printed. The V model is the modern one, the IV is almost just as good.įor me I would like to get a Nikon 8000 or 9000 to be able to scan medium format size as well but it doesn't do large format (sheet film).
I say go on trademe and wait and wait til you get a good price, sometimes a buy now price can be had for as less as $400. Minolta also does v good dedicated scanners but they have discontinued.
However for such a price you could really get a new Nikon dedicated scanner that does 35mm film with optional APS attachment. I have a $900 something scanner Epson V700 which is a flatbed scanner that does 35mm to medium format (120/220) rolls and large format up to 8x10 inch size sheet film as these days film cameras have gotten so much cheaper I may get myself medium format and large format setup.
