SPECIALIST PHOTOGRAPHIC SCANNING
Medium Format & Large Transparency Film Scanning
Professional digitisation of medium format transparencies, large-format film, lantern slides, glass plates and specialist photographic originals for archives, collections, publications and professional use.
Professional Medium Format & Large Transparency Scanning
We specialise in digitising photographic originals larger than standard 35mm, including medium format film and large transparency materials. These originals often contain exceptional detail and colour information, making accurate capture and careful handling particularly important.
Our service is suitable for photographers, estates, museums, archives, libraries, publishers, researchers, heritage organisations and private collections. We can discuss the required resolution and output format according to the size, condition and intended use of your originals.

Formats We Digitise
Large Transparencies
Digitisation of larger transparency film where accurate colour, tone and fine detail are important for publication, research or preservation.
Historic & Specialist Film
We can assess unusual or historic transparency formats and discuss an appropriate capture approach for the collection.
Medium Format Scanning for High-Value Images
120 & 220 Film
Medium-format film provides a larger image area than 35mm and can contain considerably more visual information. Our scanning service is designed to retain that detail in high-quality digital files.
Colour, Tone & Detail
Digitisation can include professional colour, tone and sharpening adjustments so that the resulting files are suitable for viewing, editing, reproduction and archival access.
Large Transparency & Specialist Film Scanning
Large transparencies, lantern slides, photographic plates and sheet film require an approach suited to the physical size and characteristics of the original. We can digitise a range of specialist transparency materials and discuss the most appropriate resolution and output before processing.
Not sure what format you have? Send us a photograph of the film or contact our team. We can help identify the material and advise on the most suitable digitisation route.
