Developing 120/220 Roll film & Scanning negatives to TIF
-
OK, I might be a little ahead of myself in asking about this, but what recommendations do people have for the development of 120/220 roll film, and in particular the scanning of the negatives into TIFF files? I am not interested in doing this myself,(as I gave up 35mm darkroom printing nearly 15 years ago after a reaction to some of the chemicals involved). So please, what businesses offer the best services for this?
Thanks again for any help.
dont know about in the north
but in dublin gunns will do it for you
the problem with getting scans in somewhere like gunns is generally they wont have a great scanner
I used these guys for my 35mm but they do 120

I’ve used peak imaging in the UK a couple of times.
I use them for all my 120 developing (E6, colour neg and black and white) and they are pretty good: good quality and reasonable price. Pretty good turn around times as well.

As for scanning the images, I bought one of these from Warehouse Express, again in the UK: http://www.warehouseexpress.com/product/default.aspx?sku=1012680
Quality is excellent and it takes everything from 35mm negs and slides right up to 5×4 (I can dream!). It’ll scan black and white, colour neg and colour slide and the supplied software is excellent and will output to a number of image types.
The downsides are that it is bulky and it is expensive – I didn’t mind the cost so much, as the reviews were excellent and as I also shoot a lot of 35mm slide and have inherited from family about 1000 35mm slides that need to be scanned so it would not go to waste if I stop shooting MF.
Difference of about £8.
What I’m really interested in, however, is seeing what retailers do with the reduction in VAT, i.e. leave the ticket price alone and keep the difference, reduce the ticket price or give a reduction at the till/check-out.
This could (should?) affect people’s buying behaviour.
depending on the amount, I may be able to scan a few rolls in coll, pretty decent set up there
