Notes:
The Tobin TVT-16 gives a realistic reproduction of your film in its current state. We are unable to tweak, fix, or eliminate any pre-existing color degradation, sound flaws, print damage, lines, or any other problems that your film may have (both originally, and/or due to age or mishandling through the years).
To initiate a film transfer, please contact us with your information via the Orders page on this site. We will try to help you if you're unsure of the type or amount of film you have.
* At present, we are unable to transfer standard 8mm, Super 8, 35mm or any other format of reel-to-reel film.
