How to Scan Negatives: Digitising Different Film Formats
116 is a roll film introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1899 for 2½×4¼ inch negatives (nominally 6.5×11 cm). The film stock is 70mm wide: wider than that of 120 film. Early Ansco film in 116 size was called "6", appended with either an "A" for six exposure rolls, or "B" for twelve exposure rolls (thus "6A" or "6B").
Our specialist machinery offer high Dmax measurement of optical density which ensures the thinner parts of film (shadows in negatives or highlights in positives) reproduces detail in the deepest of shadows. The result is high resolution digital outputs, perfect for long term preservation. Our services are highly recommended, working with museums, historical archival companies, corporations and private clients, we can cater for small units to bulk large orders in the many 1000's.
| MEDIUM FORMAT FILM TYPES : Film (and camera) type in which a single frame is larger than 135 film (36x24mm) but smaller than 4x5 inches. Typically 120 or 220 film types. This service involves Adobe lab processing for unsharp masking and toning. Perfect for archiving, publications and professional printing. |
