Title: Scanning 6x7 negatives Fading Kodak Professional print material
Post by: David Duchesne on July 22, 2010, 08:49:40 pm

I recently attended a workshop at the luminous landscape gallery in April dealing with PS lightroom.  As an aside, I met a gentleman who is still shooting large format film who mentioned to me a business in the USA that scans his negatives/positives and does so reasonaby and with suberb results.  The name of the business included the letters AG.  Anyone have a clue as to the location of such a business.


The reason I am asking is that I had a 24x30 returned to me today by a customer with a fading coloration problem.  It is a print produced by a local professional lab 12 years ago (lab is defunct).  It was made on Kodak material.  I wonder if Kodak reprints images  where a materials or processing failure has occured (ie bad bleach fix )?  Kodak used to stand behind its professional prints- I remenber their advertisements-  do they still do so?  If not I may have to resort to scanning the negative and printing it on epson material. There are few labs in Canada that print from 6x7 directly to print material without a scan intermediary. I find direst prints give a superiour result.  Maybe there are more labs in the states that print directly from 6x7 negs- but I do not know the labs in the USA?

I tried out this place recommended by Ken Rockwell for 6x7 scanning:

It worked pretty well. Resolution isn't too high but they do a decent job.
