Is there a good drum scanning service somewhere in Canada? I've got a few 4x5's, color positives and some B&W Tmax 100s that I would like to get scanned. Looking to get these scanned to make 30"x40" prints at 300dpi.
Thanks, Peter

I just got a tip about these guys so I haven't tried them yet, but they seem pretty good. Prices are as good as I've seen elsewhere.

Ask for Keith or Rob...
Rob is the best drum scanner in Western Canada.

Prices don't seem that great to me.... 500 megs+ on a drum scanner is $350. I do the same and more (to 2-3 Gigs) for $95-$150, depending on the size of the original... I get folks sending me film fro Canada all the time. Everyone is welcome to use someone close by, or from the a community they wish to support... however, those prices aren't that great...

Museum Quality Drum Scanning and Printing
I would appreciate any comments, here or by private message, on using Toronto Image Works for drum scans.
As has been pointed out, TIM is expensive, but that's acceptable if the quality and service are commensurate with the cost. I had some scans done while in New York recently, by a lab with a decent reputation, but I had the distinct sense they they were too busy and not listening, and I wasn't happy with the result. If Burtynsky's firm charges more, but is attentive and delivers a first rate product, that's fine. I guess that's my question - are they worth their relatively high rates?
Is there anyone else in Eastern Canada that I should consider?

Judging from a recent post by Bob Carnie, it looks like I should also consider Colourgenics in Toronto.
Anyone else?

Bob Carnie is a great person and very knowledgeable.
I can also recommend Lab Works in Winnipeg - they did some drum scans for a few of my 4x5 negs.
Bob Carnie told me in a pm some time ago that Elevator doesn't do drum scans.
