Most slides in a mount we would class as a normal, standard slide. However, you can use this guide to help determine whether your slides will attract our standard or non-standard pricing.

Any queries, please give us a call on 0115 714 8715 or email [email protected]

Standard 35mm Slides and Negatives:

Generally standard slidescome in plastic or cardboard holders, 2" square (50mm x50mm)

Slides that come in the same size holder, but have smaller viewable areas can also be scanned at our lowest rate. They include 110, 126 and half frame 35mm when framed in the 2" holder:

35mm Negatives are the very recognisable strips like the one below. Whole rolls can be scanned but we would need to splice it into strips of maximum 6 images. Positive 35mm strips can also be scanned in this category. Prices are per image, not per strip.

Non Standard Slides and Negatives:

Although this 127 slide is in a 2" square holder, it has a larger viewing area and cannot be scanned by our standard 35mm scanners.

This Medium or Mid format slide is around 3" square (70mm). This or any slide bigger than 2" square we class as non-standard.

This includes all 120/220 negatives and transparencies.

Glass framed lantern slides are very heavy so we have to charge a little extra postage to return them.

This tiny 110 mounted slide also has to be scanned in a non-standard way. As they are so small, they tend to produce grainy images. The frame is about 1" square.

All large negatives and still film of any size can be scanned, colour and black & white. (Digital Ice technology cannot be used on black and white images)

Some large ones are attached or sealed in glass, these can be scanned but please pack well for transport.

 
 

Photographs:


For scanning photographs we use the most modern Kodak and Epson industry standard scanners for most items. Some oversized or particularly delicate items are scanned in specialist flatbed scanners.

Our general price list is based on paper images in good condition, without tears and rips, and without sticky residue from albums.

So if you have a very large collection, lots of photos stuck in albums or very delicate items then please feel free to contact us to discuss how best we can help you, advice for getting them to us etc.

Increasingly with old photo albums, we find our customers also want to record the valuable written information included in albums so we can scan whole pages. We are happy to scan backs of photos too,transcribe this information and either include it in the file name or on screen with a DVD Slideshow. The pricing for this is individual based on the job so please call or email to discuss your requirements.
