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.
I'm not sure what you're getting with your scan. Is it a 1600 pixel x
1200 pixel image or is it a 1600 ppi x 1200 ppi scan?
The latter sounds like the resolution of some older flatbed scanners.
A 645 (6x4.5) negative would give a 1600 x 1200 pixel image if scanned
at 667 ppi. Double the resolution to 1334 ppi for a 3200 x 2400 image.
A 1600 x 1200 pixel image gives barely 150 dpi for a printed 8x10.
