In LA, Spectra does 16mm (as well as S8 and R8) transfers to 2K. I haven't used them in a few years, but I was happy with what I got in 2011, which was an HD transfer.

Also, I'm not sure about their Santa Monica office, but I've used Optimus in Chicago for 16mm and sent my students there. They do great work, and if you can make a friend, you can often get discount rates if you're willing to wait until they have a slow time.

I started to do a quick search on this, and here's the Home Movie Day listing of transfer houses: http://www.homemovieday.com/transferhouses.html

Without failure you can never achieve success. I have based my process and my career as an experimental film artist on this statement; and I welcome it as it pushes me forward as an artist to try something different, something new.

Frame Discreet in Toronto does excellent work with 2K frame-accurate scans. They are very artist-friendly cinematographers that do high-quality transfers and have lots of examples on their site:  http://framediscreet.com/home/

Best of luck!

I think Pro8mm does it but it might even be more expensive than Fotokem?

What kind of telecine do you want?  There are a lot of people who will do
old-style video transfers at very reasonable prices.  I can recommend Guy
Spiller (www.guyspiller.com) who has a Marconi line-scanning telecine.

Still, if you get an old-style video transfer you're stuck with interlace
artifacts and pulldown artifacts that you won't have from a digital scan.

The problem is that very few of the digital scanning systems will work
properly scanning a print or reversal original.  The Kinetta does lovely
work from a reversal original but few other machines will.
