Develop film to RAW?

I've been using a Pentax ME a fair amount recently and enjoying shooting film a lot. But I miss the post processing options I get when shooting digital RAW. I always get film developed to digital since I don't need prints for everything. Does anyone know whether it is possible to get films developed into RAW rather than jpeg?

Nigel, TIFF is lossless as you surmised. As regards JPEG, I would only save to JPEG once when the final version is ready. If an image was in progress and needed saving then PSD or TIFF would ensure no data is lost.

as an asside (don't read if easily confused!) TIFF is not necessarily lossless, a valid TIFF file can be constructed which uses JPEG compression

you don't have to be mad to post here

but it does help
