For those of you who want high quality film scans, there is nothing in the world better than a drum scan. The resolution, dynamic range, color rendition, and sharpness are unequalled.
At a pro lab operating a drum scanner or even a high end flatbed scanner, you can pay as much as several hundred dollars for a single high res scan.
I own a Howtek 4500 drum scanner, which I use to scan my own film, and I can scan formats from 35mm (or smaller) up to as high as 8x10 inch sheet film, and I offer scans at a tiny fraction of the price of pro labs. I've done hundreds of scans and have gotten quite good at the workflow.
PM me if you are interested in getting some scans done, I'll tell you the details.
