> Albert, What does your lab charge for developing and Scanning a 120 roll? Do you also get prints and a contact at the same time.

Thanks,

Michael.

Michael,

For 18M TIFF per image scan, my lab charges me $28 for a roll scan of 120 or 35mm. It comes with two contact sheets. One inside the CD juke box. The other is in a 4x6 print. Developing is $5 each. I can get prints for additional fee. But usually I don't need 4x6 prints.

For low Rev. scan (5M), it is $15 per roll scan.

They use the machine costs over $250k. So the quality is good. They usually apply a appropriate profile and custom scan each images for me. Often time they will fix my mistakes, unless I tell them to do a straight scan. The result is incredible, clean and ready to print. For ex&le, they will adjust the contrast so that the white wedding gown and black tux have full details. It is hard to do in PS7 (even I am pretty good in Photoshop) unless you do burn and dodge or use slip filters in the dark room. It saves me a lot of time from scanning myself and sitting in front of the computer.

THANKS to every body who helped out with advice about color reversal film.
Hi Colin and the others that mentioned Kodak it's not that they dont care about Kodachrome, they hate it they have consistently tryed to kill it since the introduction of Ektachrome, simpler hence more profitable process with the dye's in the emulsion.
Also like Jay Maisel.

Sorry, couldn't resist. But you're right about the reasons; sad really.
