Hi Kelly,
try JESSOPS photo shop's I have found them to be very helpfull in most things.
Good luck

someone who used to work with my oh now works at Jessops, and he said they may be going under, so don't leave any sentimental stuff there!!
Some home printers will do negatives if you know anyone who could try for you.

You SHOULD be able to scan black and white negs on a normal scanner, however, colour needs a special arrangement.....

have a word or two with Ron, the print.
he may be able to advise........

I found a lot of old negatives that my mother had I took them to Snappy Snaps and they put them on a disc for me

Margaret

ok thanks if i cant scan them i will try these, yes just looked and there is one in cambridge, great

many thanks

kelly

hi thanks for that, i did email Snappysnaps, and to my horror they wanted £30 per neg, nearly fell over, as i have about 200 of them,
but will think about that,

thank you

My husband has just bought a negative/slides scanner from Maplin - about £70 I think. He is in the process of scanning our ancient slides - did I really wear skirts that short in 1960s and did our little ones have such blonde curly hair!

Anyway, I think it will also do the long strips of negatives, though I'm not sure about those round mini negatives.

Good luck. Just thought, do you have a Kodak Express in your area? Our local one has been very helpful with odd questions in the past.

hi yes just had a reply back from KODAK, they want £15 per strip, it would cost a fortune, ha so i do think i will now have to but one myself
thanks for your advise

I have just scanned a negative, 70 x 45 mm, at resolution 200 dpi, negative enhanced . OK. The photo was taken in '56.

I find that it is annoying that I can’t express myself.)

har Bless you Brian, i do wish you a very speedy recovery, and hey wish my grammer was as good as yours ha

well just had a mail back form the scanner people saying they only do 35mm, so now i just dont know where to go,
i have tried to scan them but with no luck, and they are coloured

any help without costing a fortune please

kelly

regards to you Brian big hug and x

Kelly It did not cost me £30 a negative I had quite a few put on a disc and some of them were from 1940's it cost me £20 all together

Margaret

hi i just wonder what yours was as the 35 mm, these are not at all expensive to have done i did have about 300 put on cd no problems
but these are 110's which no one really wants to do, i think this is why i am being quoted silly prices, i did email the scanner people and had a reply no they only do 35mm

kelly

Just a thought,
have a look around for a local camera club, or the like......there may be a local enthusiast, that can do them for you......black and white IS a legitimate format for portraits, may also be able to do colour as well.....

Bob

I have found how to scan 110 negatives but it very slow. I made a card at the dimensions of a transparency, the size of the hole the same as 110 negative then scan as a transparency.

i have so far emailed 4 scanner companies, had a reply from 2 saying no the other 2 have not answered,
i am now sure these are coloured negs,
i have emailed a local camera club and am waiting for them to get back to me, i am going to try pc world

regards and thanks
