Where do you develop/scan your negatives?

[Darthfeeble]

I send to a lab and then scan at home. I was getting "High Resolution" discs from the lab but found my old Epson V600 was just as good and decided to save $30 a roll. Between the rise in the cost of film and the rise in developing I am for the most part done with film.

Unfortunately I have to agree with you.
I just last resorted to do b&w slides using the Adox and the Foma reversal kits, just to finish up all the films that I still got.
From that point onward, I'll buy a digital camera and do everything digitally.

I do it all at home. I built my darkroom in my basement. I scan with a Nikon scanner. I think that scanning with a camera is a splendid idea!

I thought I was pretty much done with film when I got into digital about 25 or so years ago, but I’m actually now shooting more film and less digital (unless it’s for commercial work). It’s all processed at home and then scanned by me. For medium format I’m using an Epson V850 with Silverfast 9 and for 35mm I’m using a Plustek 8200i also with Silverfast 9. I’m particularly impressed with the results from the Plustek/Silverfast 9 combo.

Develop and scan at shop and scan a selection with my Coolscan 8000 ED. I used to develop B/W at home, but that is a thing of the past.
Anything for print I might send of to drum scan, but the publication days are largely over, and the price hike has made me switch to digital for almost all photo work. For better or worse.

Home, in a washroom with dark bag, blazinal and fixer only...hanger and clips to dry then slap it on an Epson 4490, done!

BW -> develop and then wet print or scan at home
Color -> develop and then scan and sometimes ink print at home

I develop and scan (Coolscan LS 5000) at home, although I do have the option of doing all of that (and printing) at my camera club. Develop and scanning at home (with your Z8) would certainly suffice, but also consider joining a local camera club that has a darkroom and scanning equipment.

I do not scan the film, I only scan the prints I´ve made. Scanning is an art in itself.
