Hello

First of all please accept warm regards from Portugal.

Small question: how can I digitalize film (negative and positive) 8x10 inches format?. Are there scanners for that?

My best regards

Veríssimo Dias

Those mentioned by Jonathan are fine scanners for home use (I don't mean that they are not good, I just mean that they are affordable), but if you don't have too many films to scan and/or you don't want to buy scanner and learn to scan (what is, btw, best photographers way to spend rainy day without real darkroom) you can try to find local prepress houses with large flatbed or drum scanners (the later cost much - scanners and scanning too).

Veríssimo,

Tenho utilizado o Epson 4990 para negativos P&B desde 6X6 até ao 20x25 com resultados de apreciável qualidade. Dentro da classe, ousaria afirmar que não tem alternativa na relação qualidade/preço.

Cumprimentos
