Where to scan medium format negs in DFW? - 11-11-2008, 12:46 PM


Not sure what forum to put this, but...

I have a client that has some medium format negatives from their wedding they'd like to get scanned. They have a release, but I'm not sure where to send them (in the North Dallas area, preferably).

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Tom

I know you said, "North Dallas," but if all else fails, you might check with Arlington Camera to see if they would do it.

They should still do drum scanning. Call to be sure and check pricing.

If it is just a few negatives then any pro color lab can handle it. If it is the whole wedding it might get kind of expensive. Even a low res scan costs more than a 4X5 print.

Thanks, guys. I have no idea on the volume they need.

Anybody with an Epson 4990 or better scanner could probably satisfy their quality expectations.
