As others have said the resolution seems a little low, heck the Epson V500 flatbed will give you a 2400 DPI which should net you at least twice the resolution of the high res scans, and you can get one for as little as $170 US if you hunt around. I don't know what a commercial concern would charge for 6400 x 4800 dpi scans but I'll bet it would be a bit more than a buck a frame, quite a bit more. You might want to invest and take out an internet advert.

Hi all.

Film question.

Blacks cameras can do B&W developing and scanning of 120 film. I just
talked to the closest store and i can get a roll developed for $7.50
and scanned at low res for $0.45 each. They send it out to a lab, were
i have no idea.

Question.

The low res is something like 1600 x 1200, more or less i forgot to jot it down.
The high res, for an additional $0.40 per frame is around 3200 x 2400
more or less.

The higher res ~should~ be better for at least an 8x10, should it not.??

I have 4-5 rolls to do and scanning seems like a better way to go,
rather than getting developed, a contact sheet then worry about
prints. This way i can see which, if any would make a good print, do
the adjustments my self and send off for prints, or do them here.
