4x5 Process and Scan

[nevintagefilms]

Hello,

My apologizes if there is a recent thread on this issue. I have not been able to find one.

Can someone tell me if there is any lab in the USA that does a process and scan combo with sheet film like most labs do with roll films? I just need a basic scan of each one so I can decide if I want a full drum or at least Flextight virtual drum scan.

Thanks!

Dave

I was surprised--I remember seeing that the darkroom processed sheet film, so when I looked, scanning wasn't an option. So a quick search turned up a few, but I don't know them and can't vouch for them. It does get pricy.

Yeah, I found the same thing. I've used the darkroom for everything lately and was very surprised by not even having an option. I mean, I can just use my Epson V700 I guess. But, I'd rather not have to if I had an option.

I've used old school photo lab before, and they happen to be right near me in Southern NH. I didn't even think to look there. I'll probably have to check them out!

Thanks!

Still looking for anyone with personal experience though. Anyone?

I'd avoid the Darkroom for sheet film anyway. I've had too many problems with them. I keep getting scratches and uneven development from them. Plus, they often don't give my film a full wash bath, so they come back with chemical residue still on them. It's a shame, because they do good work, in my experience, with roll film.

I asked a similar question over on the large format forum. Here's what they said:
