Old Negative

jaqian

I found an old negative of my grandmother taken in the 1930s or 1940s. Its about 2.5" by 4.5 or there-abouts. Can you recommend anywhere I can get it developed or know how I could scan it to turn it into a positive?

Cheers,
Rob

depends on your scaner

as to the results your gonna get, well and if you know what your doing


should be easy to make it positive though

looks like MF film ? maybe 6x12 or so ? If the width is 6cm then it'll fit into any scanner that takes 120 film. A good flatbed will do the job if it has a transparency mode and can scan medium format.

you can use a pro scanner yourself and scan it with the help of the staff at a place in Rathmines

www.thelightexchange.com has all their contact info

I got the negative scanned. I discovered that you can scan b&w negatives using a flatbed scanner and a white piece of paper over it to reflect the light.

Here it is...


The negative was a bit scratched so had to do a bit of cloning to repair but I'm happy with how it turned out.



Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
