Photo service FAQs for Finchley Central customers
Is it possible to scan developed 35mm negatives at high resolution, and how are the scans or prints supplied?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Bring complete negative strips where possible and avoid cutting them into individual frames. Our 35mm negative scanning guide explains the digital-file service. Scans can be supplied in the agreed file format and prints can be added where the service allows. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to restore a faded, torn or creased photograph, and can several photographs be assessed together?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Restoration is carried out from a careful digital scan so the original can be preserved. Damage and complexity determine the work required; see our photo restoration service. Several originals can be assessed together when each image and requested result is clearly identified. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to develop colour 35mm film with prints or scans, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. You can choose processing with digital scans, photographic prints or a combination of both. The current choices are listed on our 35mm colour film page. Film type, laboratory process, quantity and requested output affect the completion time. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to transfer VHS tapes to convenient digital files, and what if the recording is damaged or unlabelled?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. VHS recordings can be transferred to supported digital formats for easier viewing and storage. Label each cassette and read our VHS transfer information. Do not attempt playback if a cassette is mouldy, broken or jammed; describe the condition before bringing it in. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to develop 120 medium-format film, and how do I choose between prints and scans?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. We handle supported 120 colour and black-and-white films with scan and print choices. Keep exposed rolls sealed and see our 120 film developing information. We can explain resolution, file delivery and print choices after identifying the film. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can I ask your team to scan 8mm, 9.5mm or 16mm cine film, and do I need to arrange the transfer in advance?
You can ask us to assess the job before committing to an option. Cine film is assessed by gauge, reel length and condition before scanning to digital files. See the available formats on our cine film transfer page. Routine transfers can be brought to the shop, while large collections or rare formats should be discussed first. Label separate groups so the requested result is unambiguous.
Is it possible to help with E6 slide film and transparency services, and can several rolls be included in one order?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. The correct route depends on whether the film needs processing, scanning or printing. Identify the film label if possible and review our E6 and transparency information. Multiple rolls can share an order when each roll and its requested output are clearly labelled. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
