Converting 35mm print film cartridge DIRECT to digital

meg00

I am putting up for sale (probably Ebay) a Canon AE1 camera, with 4 lenses, filters 2x teleconverter and power winder.

To display the range of the lenses (and check the camera still works) I have bought a 36 print colour film, which I am using to take pictures of the same object with each different lens on.

I am looking for somewhere to develop the film straight to digital to upload the pics on the listing, but can only find companies doing this from a negative.

Is there a way round this - or do I have to have the film printed "the old fashioned way" and digitise it from the negatives?

Thenks.

Max Spielman develop and print 35mm film and they can also digitise it according to their website

The film needs to be developed in order to convert it from exposed film to a usable negative. 

There's no way around this. You expose the film to light in order to record the image in the emulsion. If you expose it to any more light, you spoil it.

Once your exposure has been made, you MUST keep the film secure from any more light exposure, and then put the film through the chemical process to develop and fix the image on the film.

Then you can scan the negative (or transparency).

Thanks for the answers. I have contacted Max Spielman and will take the film tomorrow.
