[QUOTE=DaCommie1;31137127]I've got a Super8 camera too, it's a Canon Zoom 518. I bet if I cleaned up the exploded batteries that I could actually record onto the film that's been sitting inside it for some 30 years. Could post pics in the camera/gear thread if people want.[/QUOTE] wonder how you get super 8 film from there onto a computer
[QUOTE=DarkCisco;31139711]wonder how you get super 8 film from there onto a computer[/QUOTE] I think I'd have to get it developed and scanned, likely. My aunt managed to get a bunch of Super8 put on DVD, I could probably find out how if I decided to try using it. However, that's unlikely, as I have a MiniDV camcorder and a Pocket HD Camcorder, so it's not really worth my time to record... anything really in low-fi, no-audio Super8 (Not sure if Super8 supports audio recording, but I know the camera I have doesn't).
I made an advert a while ago, searching for a Canon Eos 3. Just now I had an email from some guy saying he had a eos 3 body in good state and that he wanted to sell it. Best thing is, he said he didn't know a good price so I offered him 40 euros and now await his reply. He wanted 250 euro's. nope nope nope
my Pentax ME Super just arrived! what would be a good cheap film to start off with? Also what would be a reasonable price to pay to get the film developed and put into digital format? Thanks

[QUOTE=DoubleDD;31205648]Fujifilm superia 200 is pretty decent. And I'd say about 7 euro's[/QUOTE] 7 euros! that's quite a lot, how much does a decent second hand film scanner cost, do you know?
[QUOTE=Alcapwne;31205690]7 euros! that's quite a lot, how much does a decent second hand film scanner cost, do you know?[/QUOTE] That's the price around here but that may totally be different from where you are(same goes for the prices of scanners). A decent scanner like the Epson V300/500 or Canoscan 9000 or whatever their numbers are usually cost you about 60-100 euro's second hand. Depending on the model.

[QUOTE=MrEndangered;31207496]Boots do prints for £6 and film-to-CD for £2[/QUOTE] Film to CD for £2 sounds good!
A decentish second hand scanner will cost £30-£40, and Boots/Jessops scan to a low resolution to save time. So I would advise to buy your own scanner and save money in the long run, and also have the ability to scan to RAW.# If you buy film on ebay you can easily get something like FP4+ for £3-£4.

[QUOTE=Alcapwne;31208318]How do the flatbed scanners scan film? Like, do you just put the negative where you would normally put paper?[/QUOTE] Yeah but there is a holder for the film.
[QUOTE=B-hazard;31208361]Yeah but there is a holder for the film.[/QUOTE] ah right okay
[QUOTE=Alcapwne;31207642]Film to CD for £2 sounds good![/QUOTE] Better go check your local Boots first before taking my word for it, since I still haven't processed any of my film. (Dammit, these rolls seem to never end when you're being careful)
ASDA do it for £3 and the quality is alright

Just picked up my developed roll. €5.50 Well, time for me to find another store
[QUOTE=DoubleDD;31248379]Just picked up my developed roll. €5.50 Well, time for me to find another store[/QUOTE] I can't find anywhere cheaper than £6.40 for dev+scans, or £4 for dev only.

I saw at ASDA that they scan up to 200 photos onto a CD for 97p, but I think developing costs a couple of quid on its own
[QUOTE=Uber|nooB;31249572]where do you live? the snappy snaps that i get my film developed at does dev only for 2.99 i think[/QUOTE] My Snappy Snaps has amazing service but is more expensive than that I think.
I'm gonna take my Peru negs to get them scanned tomorrow I think :)

Shiiit. I have to go to ASDA then. What sort of resolution do they scan them as?
