Develop 110 Film to CD?

Question

I recently came across a bunch of 110 film from my childhood. I would like to have this all converted to CD so I can store it on my home server with my more recent photographs. How would I go about doing this?

Answer 1

AS has been mentioned, scanners usually have an adapter for 35mm strips for negatives/transparencies, 110 film I would consider much too fiddly to try and scan conventionally.



I would have them printed (on to glossy paper if you can) wherever you find cheapest, there are plenty of outlets who will do this for you whether they have been printed before or are still unprocessed, as long as the cartridges have been kept in a decent environment.



Then just scan the prints as normal, I do this sometimes with negatives I took 45 years ago so it's not too late.

Answer 2

I would use a scanner. But a dedicated film scanner is designed for larger film strips (normally 35 mm film), so I don't know how the 110 strips will fit into the carrier.



Perhaps a good flatbed that can do film scanning will work better in this case.

Answer 3

Find a computer flatbed scanner with a film negative attachment; also called a transparency adapter.



Commonly designed for 35mm film, you may have to invent a way to make your film sit in place while you scan.

Scan the negatives, and the scanner software will convert them into color positive digital images.



I use an Epson Perfecton 1640SU with the Film Negative attachment.



I know my local Photo Fun camera store also does this for a fee.



Have fun.

Answer 4

Take it to a film lab and ask if they can do it.



Is the film in strips, already developed, or is it still in the cartridges? If it's in strips, don't ask for it to be developed, because it already was. Ask for reprints, or to have the images put to CD. If it's still in the cartridges, it might not be any good any more.
