35mm B&W film - scanning.
It could be 12-20 photos.
The printing will be done in Germany.
I'll be sending digital files to a fried in Germany who's compiling a photo-book of concert photography from the 1990s.
After a little research I see recommendations for "drum scanning" so now looking into providers here or mail-order.

I know a few of the shops but most just do "bog standard" scans - suitable for web or looking at on the PC but not print quality.
I think I'll drop them an email to see if they do drum scanning.
I also found this shop who still use a Kodak Pakon F135F, which is apparently great for scanning B&W negs:

This is a recent scan using an Epson Perfection V500 flatbed from a colour negative from around 1990.
All very useful.

However this looks good!
I love basic retro cars like I love my Pentax MX. No computers, screens or other features you don't want and you can fix them yourself. My Da had a Datsun 120Y which is now a cult classic!

Dublin,
Ireland.
I have some old negatives (from the 1990s) that I want to get scanned.
Some were taken on standard B&W film and some are on Ilford Xp2 (i.e. C41 process).
Any suggestions as to where to get them scanned?
They need to be hi-res as they are for a publication.
I'm based in Dublin, Ireland so local or a company that would do mail-order would be best.
Thanks in advance.
George.
