Where to process and scan film in China

If you still shoot film as I do, you need to go to one of the professional laboratories to process it. Generally, there should be at least a couple of them in every major city. To make it easier, just go to the places I mention below—they provide very good service (and no, I do not have any kind of commercial relationships with them). Do not buy film there, though—buy it here instead.

You can process film at Shanghai Yiqian, too, but this does not seem to be the company's core business. The company offers high–end equipment for digital post processing—you can use Imacon Flextight 848 or even Flextight X5 to scan film and then print digital files with the use of Epson high–end printers on a reasonably wide choice of photo papers. The only caveat is that I found the staff not trained sufficiently to get every bit of image quality that the equipment and digital post processing can deliver.
