35mm film saved as?

Some pro labs will offer saving to tiff, but most minilabs (and the default save setting of most Noritsu machines) is certainly jpg.

When I used to get dev+scan at Fuji Digital Imaging in Burnley, they would be jpg's - they were 3000x2000pixel jpg's though, and I was happy with that considering they were competitive in price (excluding the fact that they were already of a higher resolution than most normal scans). Now that I tend to scan myself, it'll be 2400dpi in the flatbed, saved to tiff - really useful to work on in Photoshop, you can bring out tons of shadow and highlight detail.

What about scanning the negatives yourselves?

You have to scan them yourself, bite the bullet, ebay the 50d and buy the equipment...:)

If only my photography was limited to 35mm, scanning wouldn't be half the pain in the wallet it is now.

They're generally pretty low-res JPegs, unless you go to a pro lab.
