Diana Mini & digital

[videonastie]

How is the best way to get my Diana Mini 35mm films onto my Mac?

Also do film labs allow you to just have the negatives developed & no prints?

You can either scan them if you have a negative scanner, or, you can set up a... thing... to take photos of the negatives using your 7D like so: http://photo.tutsplus.com/tutorials/shooting/scanning-negatives-with-your-digital-camera/

And yes they do just ask for develop only.

Also most film labs will do a dev and scan to disc option.

I was going to post something like this, but I had a look at the camera, and it seems to do half frame stuff and expose over the sprocket holes etc. I'm not sure what the scanners would make of that! Maybe the lomography folk will have some suggestions; sounds a bit specialised to me. :shrug:

That's fantastically useful, thank you I think I even have a lightbox in the attic that will work with it!

Thanks for all the replies guys, where is the best place to get negatives developed?

This is a fairly full list of those places that have been tried by peeps on here.

I use Photo Express in Hull, they are cheap, do a good job (so far, for me) and a good scan, and give a discount to TP members (for more than one film). (I'm beginning to worry I shoudn't say this, honest I'm not connected at all!)

Ooh, is there a code we can use for this? £4.50 for a dev + scan looks great already, but with a discount as well, I'll be sending off my next batch of film to them

Thanks for all the info guys, much appreciated.

That code would be appreciated here too?

No code, I just wrote I was a TP member and gave my username, and deducted 50p per film. Don't forget there's 50p for postage! (Check rates on their site.) Note, you need more than one film, as there is a minimum charge of £5.

Awesome thanks
