Imacon Drums scans of 6x17 Velvia 50 slide from Matt Lauder on Vimeo.

About my scans::

The Imacon drum scanners have been available on the market for some time and their ability for clean hassel free and high resolution scanning of film has made the old oil mounting drum scanners obsolete.

When selecting someone to scan your film why go anywhere else other than to someone who is in the industry. All my images on this website have been scanned by me and my Imacon 343.

When I got my system I painstakenly re scanned all my work that I had done by other labs, even those who had their own Imacons. My rescanned images had better colour depth and tones.

My scans are super clean without the use of dust removal software that tend to also try and remove items in your shot that it thinks is dust when it is really part of the image.

I scan film for other professionals in the field, but my own work is my best reference for the type of quality and results you can expect from my scanning.

  • What we can scan:
    Medium format and 35mm film
    Slide, B&W slide, Negative and B&W film.

  • We scan at True Optical:
    True Optical scanning is when the imacon scans your film pixel for pixel with it's own sensor to the final image size.

    Not scanning true optial results in the scan being done with interpolation (re sizing) of the final image.

Higher Dpi for medium format

Your medium format film is scanned at 400dpi. This is the exact size I personally scan all my own 6x17 film for my daily needs.

If you would like higher dpi scans please note this on your order form. Pricing for highest rez scans will not exceed an additional $6 per scan.





Scanning colour space

Unless requested we will scan all your film in Adobe RGB.

I personally now scan all my film in ProPhoto RGB to give me the maximum colour capture of my work. If you would like your film scanned in a different colour space please mark this on the order form.





Postage and Delivery

When sending us your film please ensure it is packaged well and you include a return express or registered post pack with your order that has your address.

If you forget to do this we will send your film back to you via registered post with a postage and handling fee of $15.
