Negative Film Q&A
We talked to Roger, our photo department specialist, all about negative film.
Learn from the master…
There’s no easy way to scan disc negatives. We use special trays to hold them steady, and scan each frame one-at-a-time. 35mm film is the most common format, so while we’ve streamlined our scanning process for that breed to save you money, any non-standard film interrupts our workflow and takes more time to get the best scans possible.
Sadly, it doesn’t work. Viewmaster uses two photos to get a 3D effect, but disc film photos are only 2D. Disc film is also color negative, so the colors in each image will look backwards when viewed as-is. You’ll need these scanned to properly view whatever was photographed.
Disc negatives were discontinued in 1997, so the film itself is at least 20-something years old. The photos stored on that film could be younger depending on when they were shot. Kodak phased out disc film cameras in the late ’80s, though, so it’s unlikely that most of these cameras have outlived the film.
You can print anything from film – the real question is, will it look good? Photos on disc negatives are so tiny that there’s a limit to how much detail they can hold. We recommend opting for high-resolution scanning if you’re after the best possible enlargements. Results will vary!

“EverPresent was great! They digitized some very old negatives for me … These negatives were some of the only record of my family’s farm. Kate was very interested in my project and extremely helpful! Kate and her team worked very hard and I could not be happier with the results. They were professional, courteous and very accommodating to my wishes and needs … I will absolutely work with them on my next project.”
