Drum scanning is the ultimate way to digitize your film. We offer photographers the best in film drum scanning with our Heidelberg s3900 drum scanner & Heidleberg Tango drum scanner. Heidelberg drum scanners are considered the best film scanners ever made. Our Heidelberg ChromaGraph S3900 is the king for grain sharpness for black & white negatives and color transparency. For color negative scans we use our 16bit Heidelberg Tango drum scanner.
Why is Drum Scanning the best?
- Film Size – Any size film up to 16×20 inches can be scanned full frame our drum scanners
- Shadows and Highlights – The ability to recover highlights and shadow detail like no other scanner
- Pure, high resolution – No interpolation ultra high resolution scans
- Grain detail – The grain detail and sharpness produced by the Heidelberg S3900 is unsurpassed. Because of the manner in which it is mounted it is will be sharp from edge to edge no matter the size of the film
- Dust and Scratches – The optically clear scan fluid fills scratches and washes away dust ensuring the light path is not disturbed during the scanning process
