I found a hippie in the country who would develop and scan my negatives, but here's the thing, I'm very new to analog photography (new to photography in general, actually) and I needed to know if his offer was a load of crap or not.In this case, he would develop any of my negatives, whether black and white, orthochromatic, c-41 or ecn22, for the price of 5.73 US dollars and would scan them for 2.50 US dollars, that's for each roll, i.e., 36 exposures.I won't know the real quality of the photos unless I test them, but these prices make me very suspicious of this crazy guy.I don't know if it's better for me to develop the negatives at home (if that interferes with the quality of the photo or not) or if I should just send everything to him and that's it.
I forgot to mention, but the negative scan is at 24MP (that's what he said). Now I don't know if he would photograph the negatives with another camera and "develop" them, or if he would use a scanner like a Plustek.
>>4496532Just give him a roll of snapshits and see how he does. It's cheap. Who cares? Post results and we can tell you how he did.
>>4496533Scanning with a real camera and a macro lens is generally better than cheap scanners.
I asked him for some examples of photos taken using the method we're discussing here, and he sent me these.
