828 Photographic Film Scanning
828 is a film format for still photography. Kodak introduced it in 1935, only a year after 135 film. 828 film was introduced with the Kodak Bantam, a consumer-level camera. The 828 format uses the same basic film stock as 135 film, but the film lacks the sprocket holes of 135. The standard image format is 40 × 28 mm.
828 cameras never achieved widespread popularity, and the format had a rather limited run. Kodak's last 828 cameras were the Pony 828 in the US, produced until 1959, and the Bantam Colorsnap 3 in the UK, produced until 1963. Kodak ceased production of 828 format film in 1985. The Traid Fotron, sold in the late 1960s, used 828 format film as well. However, the film was enclosed in a proprietary pop-in cartridge and so the consumer never actually saw the film; instead, they merely returned the entire cartridge to Traid for processing.
Enhancements: All negatives and positives are individually assessed by an experienced technician and adjustments are made using Adobe Archival Tone and Sharpening to optimise the resulting scan. Professional film archive scanning to TIFF, JPEG images.

Photographic Film & Glass Plate Digitisation Calculator
Identify your photographic film or plates, view our digitisation prices and calculate an estimate. Quantity discounts are automatically applied.
1. Standard Photographic Film
Common family photographic film formats. Select the image that most closely resembles the film you have.
2. APS & 110 Photographic Film
Smaller cartridge-based photographic formats. APS film is normally supplied in cartridges, while 110 film is a compact cartridge format.
3. Medium Format Film – Sizes & Film Bases
Medium format film is available in several image sizes. The actual frame size depends on the camera and format. Select the closest format below, then choose the film base in the calculator.
Important – Nitrate and Acetate Film Assessment:
Medium format nitrate and acetate film will require an assessment before digitisation to establish its condition and level of deterioration. We will check for signs such as shrinkage, warping, brittleness, curling, vinegar syndrome or other chemical deterioration. The assessment helps determine safe handling, the appropriate digitisation method and whether any additional conservation measures are needed. The final quotation may depend on the condition of the material.
4. Photographic Glass Plates & Lantern Slides
Historic glass plate negatives and positive lantern slides. These materials may require additional handling and assessment.
5. Sheet Film, Transparencies & X-Ray Film
Large-format sheet film and specialist photographic transparencies, including historic and technical collections.
1. Standard Photographic Film – Pricing Table
110 film: Due to its very fine grain, 110 slides and negatives must first be digitised to Publication TIFF before conversion to JPEG. The Publication TIFF rate therefore applies.
2. APS & 110 Photographic Film – Pricing
3. Medium Format Film – Pricing
All medium format roll film and cut film formats use the same quantity-based pricing structure as 4 x 5 sheet film. Prices shown are per image / original and are for archival TIFF digitisation. Nitrate and acetate film require a condition assessment before a final quotation can be confirmed.
4. Lantern Slides & Photographic Glass Plates
5. Sheet Film, Transparencies & X-Ray Film
Minimum order value: £25.00 excluding VAT (£30.00 including VAT).
Historic glass plates, nitrate film, deteriorating acetate film and fragile emulsions may require additional handling and assessment. If you are unsure about your film type, please contact our team.
