High-Quality Digital Movie Film Transfers

We use a Buhl Multiplexer with collimating lens and double split field lens. This is widely recognized as the best method of film transfer. This optical system forms an aerial image that is sharp, bright, and distortion free.


Screens are never used during film transfers. Any grain in the resulting digital file is the actual grain of the movie film and depends upon the ISO at the time the film was shot.
