Title: Ok. First off.

  Does anyone have any recomendations for getting film developed and scanned. Bearing in mind that there is scanning and there is scanning!



     I have one of these that I am keen to have a go with.

For black and white - http://www.ilfordlab.com/

For colour - http://www.photofilmprocessing.co.uk/120film.html

I've used both and was happy with them ;)

It's 120, right?

  I'm thinking black & white, it seems only right and proper.
  Yep, 120.
        Thanks for the links.  Graham. :tup:

Ilford - now that's a name from the past.  :)

I use the second one Jonathan posted for my film and scans. I scan my own 35mm & get them to process the film. With 120 they process the film and scan it for me onto a CD.

I have found the scans to be a bit variable, one film had quite a bit of dust & hairs on the scans, took a while to remove them in PS.

Really? I'm looking at a roll of Ilford 35 mm black and white sitting on my desk right now. Going to plunk it in my Nikon FE shortly.

A local hock shop /pawn broker / second hand store nearby has one of these right now.  I did not notice how much they want for it though.

Graham I went into the local "proper" camera shop that detail almost entirely in film cameras and equipment (http://www.mrcad.co.uk/shop/home.php) and asked them, they pointed me in the direction of a local lab. Worth a try that way you can have a bit of a relationship with them.
