single frame blow ups

[Hanthx]

I would like to blow up a few frames of super 8 film to larger prints, maybe 5 x 8 or larger.
Who does this?
Roger, can you scan a single image and then output it via a printer...anyone try this.

Try Monaco in San Fran. They do all sorts of printing so I would think that they could do it. I think Marten Baumgarten in Plattsburg NY does but I don't know what the quality is. Good Luck

And after you're walking down 9th street, dejected and humiliated for mentioning an amateur gauge like S8 at Monaco, give me a call. We'll head over to the Mission for a burrito, and talk about how unfair this S8 life is...

Found this interesting site on 35mm + large format photo & high resolution analyzes.

Might be possible to contact him to get HQ scan of the S8 frames. Seems to have the tools required anyway.

Seem to offer services.

Scott,

I think its a good idea to enlarge the film up to around 35mm frame size, then you could probably get away with scanning from there. I got okay-ish results by using a photographic enlarger and lining up a zoom lens on a 35mm camera right next to the enlarger lens. This meant I could copy onto 35mm neg and go from there. However I think you could do a lot better using something like a proper slide copier. There's obviously potential for big enlargements. But if you scan S8 direct from the original You'll need a scanner with a very high resolution and I reckon it would be a lot better to enlarge it to a 35mm still somehow first.
