I've just returned to photography after a break, and rather than upgrade my digital compact, I've dug out my Pentax PZ70 for some traditional film action, which I'm rather looking forward to!
In terms of processing, I'm going to try several services out, from Truprint to Peak Imaging, to see which suits. I already process images from digital on my Mac - I'm looking to shoot C41 film and find a service to process and scan to CD. I've no idea what Truprint (£2.99 for 36exp C41 process and £1.99 for scan to CD) quality is like, but I don't expect miracles, so I'm just taking test shots. Peak's standard CD service for C41 is £7 all in, for what appears to be JPEGs that open out to 6.1MP.
Whilst I can glean a lot of useful info from this forum in terms of relative quality of service, I'm not sure if the Peak standard CD offering would be enough, maybe I would need the £14 higher res scans? I would like to retain sufficient quality to be able to print up to 10x8 if required.
...and to beat you to the punch, yes I'm considering scanning the negs myself to get more control and better, uncompressed, results - but I want to get back into things a bit before committing to spending on a scanner. BTW, would a £80 flatbed (Canon, say) that comes with slide/negative adapters, allow better results than the Peak service?
