35mm film digitalized? If I take my 35mm exposed film somewhere to develop and it is put on a disc, will the quality be the same as the actual 35mm negatives?

Depends on the quality of the 35mm film camera/lens combo you will use and the scanner that will be used to scan the film. Using some of the best film cameras and best film scanners, the resolution you can get from film will be much higher than 18 MP. Newer digital movie cameras used in Hollywood shoot upto 4K resolution. Many studios want the older movies shot on film reel converted into 4K digital format soon, and they are not worried about it. They claim that the film has more resolution available than needed for the new 4K format.

I've left my extra film in the box for months at a time before using it and haven't seen any issues with quality. I have even left a pack of film in my car during the summer heat of Florida and the pictures still have come out great!

I have not yet scanned any film negatives but I have scanned a number of transparency slides so my estimation will have to be based on that experience only. The scans I have made have all been at the highest resolution and the scan time for each one took no more than a few seconds. I can't be specific as it has been a little while since I did any scans but I remember it not taking very long at all. I would presume that the scan time for negatives would be somewhere in that time frame. A few seconds.

You may be correct, be that as it may, Criterion has high quality transfer and I did state that "with copy protection or ANY original ones". Maybe my back-up dvds are compressed in a different way, I'm not sure, but when I run it in the Oppo, it doesn't look any different, actually, sometimes, some back-up dvds looked worst(because of artifacts) than when I play them in a regular 480p player. One thing I noticed, on the Oppo, if the disc transfer is imperfect, then you will see the imperfections. Oh, I did read the specs, it does say that it will play +R, -R dvds, DIVX, (almost anything..)but doesn't necessarily say "Upconvert".

As there is no disc/software as with the Kodak, just convert them to jpegs ( in a seperate iPhoto file/so you don't get the lower res photos mixed up and you should be good to go.

I uploaded mine to my computer then from there I burned to a dvd disc. Verified they were on the dvd and discarded the 8mm tapes. Its been awhile since I now have a different camera.

Can I just lay an entire 35mm roll of film in a plastic Printfile right on the glass of the Canoscan 9000F and scan the whole thing? I want to make digital contact sheets from many rolls of color negatives. These are for reference, not for high resolution archival purposes. My old Canoscan 9950F will not do it. The scanning area is not big enough to cover the whole roll.

No, you will have to develop your film first. If you try with undeveloped film, you will ruin the film by exposing it to light. This scanner works with negatives and/or slides (positives).

DNG is like a JPG of TIF file. It's the byproduct of working on a raw photo in Lightroom or Photoshop. So when you're done editing you can choose to save it as a DNG. So the answer to your question would be yes. I've used nearly every professional camera that Nikon has made for the past 14 years and this is, by far, the best camera I've ever used and worth every penny. I give it an enthusiastic 5 stars. The D5 should be coming out sometime in the next 12 months so if you can afford to be patient then it might be worth it to wait.

Vaboo! Good topic.I've got a box of *everything* -- 110, 35mm and 126 negatives. The problem is the software doesn't really allow for this film format . . . I'm going to see if they have a SDK or something to hack that.Any suggestions for the 110s?Also, can someone suggest a good (cheap) negative viewer? That pana-vue #2 looks perfect except it's for slides.Thanks in advance!

Digital is not as easy as film was. I would say it was close, but too many factors are in the formula now. 50mm was the standard used with 35mm film, and 600mm was 30x, now I have seen 25mm to 28mm as standard. With 25mm as a base standard, 600mm would be 24x. You have a semiconductor picking up the image and microprocessor creating it.

Similar? Yes, in that the photos are instantly ejected from the camera and they develop before your eyes! It's a wonderful new take on the old polaroid. it's different because the photos you end up with are smaller - about the size of a business card. We love using ours to document our everyday life and enjoy the old-timey feel and look of the film.

I took them an a flight in my carry on bag and there was no problem. But the last time I took the camera to Target to get the film developed, the price to do so had increased so much. They used to do it onsite for a very reasonable rate, but no longer did that and had to mail it out. I ended up doing it at CVS but it was $11 or something like that so I decided then and there never to buy another disposable camera. I have a Samsung Digital I bought after that which has far better quality and I'm very happy with. I don't know if the photos can be transferred to CD. I just scan them to my computer using my printer/scanner.

No. It is regular Black & White development process. If you want the chromogenic B&W; (C41 process) from Kodak, this is it: Kodak Professional BW400CN, C-41 Process Black & White Negative Film ISO 400, 35mm Size, 36 Exposure - 5 PackThere is also one from Ilford: Ilford XP-2 Super 400 135-36 Black & White Film

http://www.c-lineproducts.com/qp424-35mm-storage-photo.html description doesn't specify archival quality. Have noted no deterioration of photos in 2 years but certainly that may not be indicative

When I received mine it was in perfect condition with the film still intact. I'm sure the store on Amazon you purchased it from will replace your product when you fill out the form under your purchase options on Amazon.

No I think that the film versions of the Nikon lenses are made in a different model than the digital Nikon lenses.
