Woohoo, just got my first Holga developed film back from Peak Imaging. What a great experience... real film in my hands, and such olde worlde charm. This experience could grow on me, and I can't wait to now put through the colour slide film I have from Joxby.
However, before I proceed...
I got my first B&W developed at Peak Imaging, and because I didn't know what to expect I got a contact sheet too. This isn't particularly cost effective long term though and I'm wondering what the best solution is for getting my shots on the computer. Do I pay Peak to do it? Could I do it with a home scanner? Would I be scanning from negs or prints? What sort of equipment would I need to be looking at?
I seem to remember from the dim and distant past that you make a contact sheet by laying the negs onto photographic paper and exposing. However, the contact sheet from Peak Imaging is *VERY* neat and looks to me like the negs have been scanned already. So I am wondering if I am missing a trick here with Peak?
Anyways... those are my thoughts... any comments, advice, or abuse appreciated.
This is a whole new world... and I'm loving it!
EDIT: Forgot to say... Many thanks to Richard OneTen who sent me some rolls of B&W film in the first place.
