FILM SCANNING

VANBAR offer three scanning service options . Imacon Flextight ,Fuji SP3000 & Notitzu SP1800

IMACON FLEXTIGHT 949

Flextight scans are of the highest quality. These scanners are used to provide artists/photographers with exhibition quality files. It is recommended to order a Flextight scan when needing a file for large scale printing or high resolution scans.

The Imacon Flextight 949 is a superb scanner offering a dynamic range of 4.4 and excellent sharp results for prints up to large sizes. The Imacon Flextight 949 was the last Imacon branded scanner to be released before the merger of Imacon and Hasselblad, and is significantly better than even previous Imacon scanners. In terms of shadow penetration, sharpness and low noise, it is one of the best scanners on the planet and easily competes with any other scanner available. The technology in the 949 is as good as, if not better than, the now re-branded Hasselblad X5 machines.

Scans will be produced as16 bit RGB TIFF files.

Negatives will be cleaned before scanning. We take every precaution to produce a dust free file although even with extensive cleaning most scans do produce a small amount of dust.
Vanbar will not repeat a scan for dust removal.

The files produced are 'raw' scans, by this we mean we do not make any corrections to colour or editing such as noise correction, sharpening, cropping, dodge/burn, profiling, toning, up/down scaling etc.

If you have any scan requirements that are out of our regular specifications we can produce a customised scan; this requires a short consultation at the time of order and may incur additional charges.

Resolutions :

Scanning is available for XPAN and Panoramic 120 formats.

FUJI SP3000

 We are pleased to provide high resolution film scans using the Fuji Frontier SP-3000 scanner, known among enthusiasts and professionals for producing some of the best colours from their film.

Our experienced scan operator will provide basic colour and density correction to ensure that your film scans come out looking great.

With a fully digital workflow, you will receive your scans via a personal download link. You will be provided with both JPEG and TIFF copies of your scans, giving you the ultimate flexibility in further editing your images to the next level.

To get the most out of every frame, we can spend the extra time scanning at the full 20MP (5444 x 3649 px) resolution the Fuji Frontier SP-3000 has to offer. Do note that your final scan resolution will differ depending on the aspect ratio of your film. 35mm or 6x9 medium format film will receive the full 20MP scans, while square formats like 6x6 will only get a 13MP scan
