I found a hippie in the country who would develop and scan my negatives, but here's the thing, I'm very new to analog photography (new to photography in general, actually) and I needed to know if his offer was a load of crap or not.
In this case, he would develop any of my negatives, whether black and white, orthochromatic, c-41 or ecn22, for the price of 5.73 US dollars and would scan them for 2.50 US dollars, that's for each roll, i.e., 36 exposures.
I won't know the real quality of the photos unless I test them, but these prices make me very suspicious of this crazy guy.
I don't know if it's better for me to develop the negatives at home (if that interferes with the quality of the photo or not) or if I should just send everything to him and that's it.
but the negative scan is at 24MP resolution (that's what he said). Now I don't know if he would photograph the negatives with another camera and "develop" them, or if he would use a scanner like a Plustek.
