Highest Res Scans for 120 film - Where?

[benfires]

Hi all!

As title suggests, I'm looking for where in Singapore I can get the highest res scans of 120 film.
So far I think 35mm Colour Lab is the best bet with their "Professional film scan" TIFFs, anyone ever had experience with that exact service before?
Thanks all for your help

if you are going to depend on commercial labs like Fotohub to do them for you, you can.... but YMMV when it comes to quality... :think:

if you foresee yourself scanning quite a fair bit on a regular basis, it might be better off for you getting a decent film scanner from canon or epson (e.g CanoScan 9000F, or Epson V700) and spend a bit of time DIY. you probably can snag a used scanner from Buy/Sell for a good price.

Thanks for the response! I'm just looking to get the highest quality/resolution scans I can get for a mini project of mine, it's not something I'd do on a regular basis.
I'll definitely check out Fotohub though, any experience with their film scan service?

Well.... With them your milage really varies. Some days, their scans are good. Other days... I get lots of dust.

Hmm maybe I'll give 35mm Color Lab a shot first, since Fotohub doesn't seem to state a price for 120mm TIFF scans in rolls...

Try Pic & Pixel at Peninsula Shopping Centre Level 1, next to Ruby Photo. I saw an Imacon and a Nikon Scan 8000 in the window. They are probably the top film scanners around.
