some pictures from a walk back in June or July,
again with my lomo LC-A.

I was wondering, how/ where do you get your negatives developed?
I usually get them developed and scanned since I don't have a scanner at home,
but it's quite expensive.

I have also researched scanners before, but could not decide whether to get a negative scanner
or a regular one with a special device for negatives.

do you scan your negatives yourself?
I'd love to hear your suggestions!

  1. Liebe Christine, ich habe den CanoScan 8800F, damit kann ich Kleinbild- und Mittelformatfilme scannen. Mit dem bin ich auch eigentlich total zufrieden, nur der Staub, der nervt. Wenn ich zu faul bin oder mir etwas schönes gönnen möchte, gehe ich zur Drogerie oder zum guten Fotolabor, was dann auch entsprechend kostet. Aber meistens lohnt sich das dann auch. Liebe Grüße aus dem Norden und einen schönen Abend!

  2. any good scanner that would work with my mac is really expensive.
    the biggest lab in Paris, negatif +, develops and scans your film for 9 euros, which is affordable I think.

    i really like these photos.

  3. Diese Fotos sind echt toll. Gestern habe ich endlich die light seals an meiner Lomo ersetzt und heute einen Film eingelegt...ich hoffe es wird was draus.
    Meine Negative lasse ich inzwischen im Labor scannen. Ich habe zwar einen normalen Scanner mit Negativ"einsatz", aber der ist nur für 4 Bilder (und im Labor schneiden sie 6er-Streifen), das dauert ewig und immer sind Staubpunkte auf den Bildern. Ausserdem würde ich wahrscheinlich gar keine Fotos mehr posten, wenn ich die alle scannen müsste (ausserdem ist der Scanner Canon und ich kann ihn nicht mehr benutzen seitdem ich einen Mac habe)...trotzdem habe ich auch schon öfter gedacht, dass es doch eine günstigere/flexiblere Lösung geben muss. Und was ist mit Mittelformat? Die hier scannen zu lassen kostet richtig viel. Kompliziert!
    Wünsch dir noch einen schönen Sonntagbend. Und danke für die Post, ich habe mich gefreut!! xxx

  4. i've been thinking about getting a film scanner myself, but i don't know which one to get. i always have my films developed and have all the photos degitalised at the lab and it is not that cheap... would love to hear if you decide to get a film scanner and how it will go!

    i love these photos, great composition :)

  6. I really like these photos! I get my films processed and then scan them myself (with a flatbed scanner). one of the reasons I like to do it myself is that I find that many labs that scan negatives will apply colour correction and/or sharpening when scanning, and I'd rather control that myself.

  8. hello! This is very old so I guess you have probably made a decision on this - I used to have this problem so I tried both. I was getting them processed and scanned - so expensive. So I bought a scanner. And do you know, Its totally worth paying for them to get scanned. The place I get them done does a great job, and I really just find scanning photos the most dull thing ever. Financially, its cheaper to buy a scanner and do it yourself, but scanning photos is tedious, and I can never do as good a job as the lab.

    Also, the lab scan them immediatly, so there is no dust on the negatives. By the time I get around to scanning negatives - even if I do it the day after picking them up, there is dust on them (and on the scanner) and I have to spend a lot of time cleaning it off the images. I just really hate spending that much time sitting in front of a computer myself so I feel like its worth the money to pay someone else to do it!!!

    Thats just my opinion though :)

    PS I LOVE your blog.
