Thanks Mark. I had come across that Cameraequip page before, but it gave so little info beyond a link to the manufacturer's homepage that I wasn't even sure they were offering to scan others' films, or if the device was simply for rent.

Thanks Will, Robert and Dom for the additional info.

Hi. I'm new to the forum, also in Australia, and found this topic while looking around for someone local to scan a 16mm project of mine I made in 1996. I see this topic started about half a year ago, at which point Mark mentioned he could find options with the BlackMagic and the GoldenEye locally. I've only been able to identify one production house in Australia offering the BlackMagic and none offering the Goldeneye. I made an initial approach to the BlackMagic house the other day about scanning my film in 4k, and they said the BlackMagic would handle 16mm in 2k, a point which seems to have been verified by what I've read online since (I'm learning fast.) But I want to scan my film in 4k. I'm not going to do all this with this film again anytime soon, or maybe at all, so I want to go to the highest resolution of today that is good enough to archive the film and which also doubles as future/pending home entertainment resolution. So my first question is -- to any Australians here, do you know of any production houses in this country with the Goldeneye or other 4k scanning facility for 16mm? Actually, that's the only question to begin with : ) But I'm also open to any other general comments or questions. Thanks.
