I've had regular HD transfers done with them. They are quite good for the
price, however, as an out of town customer I will say that their turnaround is
slow and its difficult to get the best out of your transfer when you don't get
to supervise. But no regrets! They care about the medium and the quality of
their work. I can show you the Super 8 colour neg they transfered if you want
to come by sometime or e-mail me and I can send you some links.
If you have a lot of time and are short on money. Cineworks now has a JK with a
Super 8 and 16mm gates that has a DSLR mounted on it. Its a slow process but
the quality is very high and if you don't have a lot of film to transfer its
your best bet in Vancouver. The cost of renting it for an afternoon will be
less than shipping film to the Big Smoke.

Thanks very much, Roger and Karl, for the advice! Sounds like an excellent
option.

Frame Discreet is a great place to get 2K scans if you are in Toronto or
Ontario. Their frame accurate system, quality colour correction and keen eye
for detail has made many a fellow filmmaker up here jump for joy with the
results. I personally have had detail pulled from what I thought were totally
blown out highlights once FD got my print into their machines. This positive
edge is also to be said about the general quality of work as I've heard from
others about having their faith in film regained as a medium after having FD
re-transfer their prints that were inadequately transfered by other companies
in the city.
