Peak Imaging for Film to CD?
-
Hi folks,
I’ve read some good reports here on Peak Imaging in the UK for prints. I’m just wondering is their film processing and negative scanning to CD service is as good. I’d be sending them film to process and scan – B&W 35mm. Alternatively, if there is somewhere in Dublin who’s dependable, I’d be grateful of a recommendation. I did get negs scanned before in Dublin in two different places and the images were dusty and hairy beyond belief.
Thx,
JonathanI used Peak Imaging once about two months ago. I sent two 135 films – one colour and one black and white. They developed the films and scanned to CD. I was happy with the quality of the colour but not with the way the black and white turned out. I spoke to someone in the company and we agreed that it was human error on my part which caused the problem. I will use them again but am waiting until I have a few films for processing.
Hope this helps.
Thanks Dave. What was the problem with the BW – is it something I should look out for? (I’m totally new to film)
It was a new (second hand) camera to me and I left the exposure compensation on so I under exposed every frame by about two stops. Even at that the negatives are not a total disaster.
I will have to go back to using old mechanical cameras with a hand held meter. So my problem was self inflicted.
Ah! Thanks for the info.
I just picked up an old EOS3 on Ebay to try full frame with my EF lenses. Looking forward to seeing how things work on the dark side :D
I’ve used Peak Imaging quite a bit in the past. Indeed it was they who did six 30″x40″ prints from 645 IR negatives. These were printed digitally after they scanned the negatives I sent them. Admittedly, I did pay for their premium service, but it was worth it to see the end result.
This is from the roll of film that I drastically underexposed. I have done some post processing on it.
