What we scan
Below are the common types of film and slide we scan. If your film type is not shown above please contact us and let us know what it looks like. We can scan almost any type of film!
We have no dark room facilities, so we only scan developed films. An additional charge will be made on any films we receive that require us to send them for developing.
