acromite53 | 338 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 May be a long shot but is figure I'd ask. Anyone have experience or know of a good 8mm film scanning service? I've got a bunch if 50ft 8mm reels. Ideally I'd like it scanned in 2k. I've seen online sites offer lowest price $30 for 2k. Locally I've seen $35 each reel. Either way it's going to be expensive unless I want to film the wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,684 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 That's been the standard price in my experience. Alternatively you could rent a Wolverine MovieMaker for two weeks for about $80 plus shipping (and a deposit of $300 that gets refunded upon return of the machine.) If you have enough time and reels, it might save a bit, but you have to work with it yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At ~$30 each, I'd be looking at around $1000. Is this the site? https://www.filmfix.com/blog.asp?post=439&l=e Is this something that you have rented? I dont see anything about making your own video files. Of course they do want to sell their own service, but do you think scans could still be done with this rental?

acromite53 | 338 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Ok so after reading the pdf manual it looks like that's what the machine is built for. Thanks for the idea! I think this is the best option by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,684 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Yeah, though looking it over, I'm not sure it does a full 2k transfer. I never used one personally. Hope you can find something that works for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
