OK, so I'm going to do a bit of a comparison this week.
Usually I've been sending to Photo Express in Hull and while I've been happy with the price and the turnaround (which is impressive), I find the scan quality to be a bit off. For example, on a scan of two nearly identical images the colours are noticeably different - and it's understandable that PE are going for fast and automated scans. Nothing wrong with that, but I'd like to see if I prefer my images if they are scanned with more attention and finesse.
Ideally I'd like the service to be a bit less automated, I know that some of the labs in Australia change the settings of their scanners for different films, and that's basically what I'd be after - a scan that's a bit more accurate.
I'm also trying to work out if a higher res scan would result in a better file to play with on the computer - I won't be printing for a while, but I do need to get a good image after viewing it on the computer.
So, I'm try to work out which of these services would be the best for developing and scanning:
- CC imaging
- AG
- UK Film Lab
- Photo Hippo
Any opinions about which of these 4 would be worth trying out? Leaning towards UKFL as it seems the best.
