I’m never bored. Scanning film takes up most of my time

I know DSLR scanning exists. But I shoot film so I don’t have to touch a DSLR unless I have to (bird, whale photos)

@skinnylatte nice! Are there any local scanning resources or coops? Scanning seems to be the most expensive part of film development. I think SFPL has a lab, but with limited hours that are inconvenient

@dev tons! The Harvey milk photo center is a city run darkroom and digital photo lab. They have a large format printer and various scanners. I got started there but then developed a preference for the type of scanner I like.

There’s also photolaundry which lets you rent Fuji frontiers and noritsus and imacons. After one training you can use it yourself. Cheaper than a lab. The Fuji is the fastest. 8 rolls in an hour @ $20

@dev @skinnylatte I'm fairly happy with my DSLR jig for scanning 4x5, and apart from the camera and the lens, it cost maybe a few boxes of film to put together. An Epson V850 is more expensive but is said to work as well.
