/ Using the Wolverine Pro Film Digitizer to transfer them myself: $412 ( the machine plus the memory card needed to make it work)Įventually, I decided on Legacybox and sent away for a kit. / Walmart: $880 ($22 per reel with an extra charge if the reel is more than 100 feet) / Video Conversion Experts: $800 – $2000 depending on video quality / Costco: $800 ($20 per reel although they charge more if the reel is more than 150 feet) / Legacybox: $550 (usually priced at $1,100 but there’s a 50% off promo code available)
To give you an idea of how the math played out, here’s a quick cost comparison for 40 reels of film as of September 2018: The cheapest option was to actually buy a machine to digitize the film at home but the reviews were mixed and I was worried about quality. I did find a local place that would keep the films here in Salt Lake but they started at $30 per reel and I didn’t have $1,200 to throw at the project. Costco had the lowest per roll price but they still sent the film off-site. Legacybox had a reasonable package for 10 reels of film but we had to ship the film away. All of these options were pretty expensive because we had about 40 reels of film and services charge by the reel. I researched out options and determined that we could either send the film away to be digitized, drop it off at a local center, or convert the film at home. It’s been floating around in my family’s possession for the last few years because we couldn’t bring ourselves to send it away to be digitized but we also didn’t have a projector that worked for the film.
After my grandfather passed away, he left behind a box of 8mm and Super 8 film.
