Pocket format negatives, “110 film” (13×17mm)

The pocket-size negative, also called “110 film,” often consists of strips of 4-6 shots. We can also scan strips of 1 shot. The size of the pocket negatives is 13x17cm. Because they are small images, the resolution at 3000 dpi is about 1200×1800 pixels. A higher resolutions will make the digital photo look grainy. All photos will be corrected for colour, light, dust and scratches. The infra red correction of dust and scratches doesn’t work as well with black and white photos as it does with colour photos.

The negatives are converted to digital (positive) JPEG format photographs. We provide each folder/envelope with a sticker with a unique number.

The price is charged per photo. All photos on a strip will be scanned. If you only want specific shots of a strip scanned in, or when supplying a strip with only one negative, we charge an additional fee of $0.39 per photo.

File formats

We can supply just about all common formats. We normally use JPEG format. This gives a very good quality while the files don’t get too large. We can also provide the photos in an uncompressed file. TIFF is a common format for this. This format is often used in professional printing. However, this format creates much larger files: with a 35mm negative scan at 4000 DPI, a TIFF file is about 70 MB in size.
