Negative Printing?
Discussion
Hi all, had a clear out the other day & found some old strips of 35mm negatives, from approx 20 years ago.
I have held them up to the light & they all have images on them, many old mates etc, approx 30 in total.
I would love to get these printed, does anywhere still or able to do this?
Many thanks in advance.

3 options I would guess.
1. You could try a few of the places that still exist on the High Street as specialist Photo processing outfits or maybe some of the larger Tesco stores that still have film processing facilities. Or of course there is Boots. See what they say.
2. There are specialist companies who will take on the task - Peak Imaging is a name that comes to mind but there are several others that should be able to help.
3. Get the negatives scanned to a digital file and then do what you like with them.
3a. You can get adapters that allow the creation of digital files by using a DSLR and a suitable backlight to take a photo of your negatives. It may or may not work to your satisfaction but if the purpose if to satisfy nostalgia rather than produce Fine Art prints such an approach may well be fine.
