We use the very high end LaserGraphics ScanStation 5K film scanner with "wet gate" technology (which smooths out scratches and pits in the film), yet our prices beat lower quality transfers! We can scan 35mm, 16mm, Super 8, and 8mm, with or without audio, at resolutions up to 4K.
We can even simultaneously deliver proxy files!
Don't trust older telecine, film chain, Retroscan, or Cintel transfers.

The LaserGraphics ScanStation 5K is far superior, preferred by high end feature films and archivists alike, and we'd be happy to tell you why! Look at the sample image above to see just how much better it is than Cintel.
