Professional negative scanning service.
I offer a high quality professional level negative scanning solution. This is a great option for people who develop their own film but have no means of scanning the developed negatives, those who need negatives scanned again should they have lost the original digital files or simply having old family negatives from previous generations you wish to modernise and bring into the digital era. This is a cost effective solution to bring those photos back to life with digital files you can store forever.
I can scan 35mm and 120 negatives and can supply the digital copies to either an online format such as google drive / dropbox or onto a USB memory stick (If you require the scans on a USB stick please send one with your negatives [at least 8gb per 36 scans] if you do not have one this can be supplied at an extra cost.)
I can supply one, two or all of the scanned images as physical prints if this is required. Please see my Prints page for information and pricing.
Please email forbesfilmphotography@gmail.com or fill out a form on the Contact page to get started.
Pricing:
35mm is £12.50 per 36 negatives (Cut or uncut rolls, Mix of colour or B&W)
120 is £12.50 per 12 negatives (Cut or uncut rolls, mix of colour or B&W)
Prints please see pricing listed here.
*Negatives will not be modified in any way or edited heavily as to try and preserve the original look and quality of the photos.
**Negatives will be kept for ONE week after scanning before being posted back to the customer to ensure you are happy with the images encase a rescan is required.
***If prints are ordered, negatives, prints and USB stick (If required) will be posted back to the customer at the same time.
