Alan did say (not in the original post) that there were only two negatives that he wanted to get drum scanned
I missed that bit!

Now the OP doesn't mention how many negatives he has so
there are only 2 negatives.
Look at it this way, you of all people know that a drum scan isn't the only way to get a high quality scan. A couple of questions confirms the op knows that too. Every one is happy, no?
Well hitting at it in another angle then get a chemical print made on excellent paper......my B/W prints are still very good after 60 years stored in a box at room temp, but some of the stored negs are covered in dust and scratches . So you'll have the neg and print for the future.
Get a big print done, then take a photo of said print with a DSLR.
Or would that be really, really controversial?
Possibly... but a good 10x8 print made traditionally then scanned on a fairly average scanner would be quite good.

I do indeed know that, my annoyance came because questions weren't actually asked but assumptions were made!

You know I was joking, right?
Fair enough, though sometimes it might be easier to just ignore Brian than picking the same fight.
Still true thoughwho's going off topic now and is not very friendly
Still true though
We don't know if they were taken on a cheap camera! Jeez, why do some people have such a difficult time just answering such a simple question? The guy asked where to have his photos drum scanned, that's it! Why do we have to sit here bringing all kinds of other stuff into the discussion complicating things? It's absolutely infuriating. I don't know the OP but he doesn't exactly seem like a beginner in photography, if he says he wants a drum scan then it's fairly safe to assume that's actually what he wants.
