Flexible Output Formats
JPEG, TIFF, and RAW output, delivered with the color space set for your use.
Cloud Delivery

Equipment
Scanning Equipment — Sony α7R V
We scan with Sony's high-resolution flagship, the α7R V. Its 61-megapixel back-illuminated full-frame sensor digitizes film faithfully, down to the grain and tonal gradation.
With Pixel Shift Multi Shooting, it produces ultra-high-resolution files of up to approximately 240 megapixels — covering needs beyond our standard plans, such as fine-art archiving and large-format printing.

Beyond Digitization
We do not stop at the scan. As an engineering company, we design for the archiving and use that come after.
Our Tool

shop.neoanaloglab.comFrequently Asked Questions
Which resolution should I choose?
It depends on the use. For large prints and archiving, choose Professional at 4000dpi; for prints up to A4 and portfolios, Standard at 3000dpi; for web-first use, Light at 2000dpi. If unsure, ask us at intake.
What are the benefits of RAW output?
RAW keeps the maximum information from the scan, so you can grade and retouch yourself. It suits artists and archival use where future editing freedom matters. Available alongside JPEG and TIFF.
Can I send undeveloped film?
Yes. We handle development through scanning in-house. If your film is already developed, scan-only orders are welcome too.
What equipment do you scan with?
We use a camera-scanning setup built around the Sony α7R V, a 61-megapixel full-frame mirrorless camera. With Pixel Shift Multi Shooting it can capture up to approximately 240 megapixels, meeting demanding needs such as fine-art archiving and large-format printing.
How is the data delivered?
Securely via cloud storage (with a download expiry). Output formats are JPEG, TIFF, or RAW, with color space set to match your use.
Where can I check pricing and place an order?
You can check pricing and place your order on our online store processing page (https://shop.neoanaloglab.com/en/processing), where you can also choose the resolution plan and whether development is included. Turnaround varies with volume and season, so we give estimates at intake.
Can I order by mail?
Yes — we accept mail-in orders from anywhere in Japan. Place your order on our online store, then ship us your film. Scan data is delivered digitally and your film is returned.
