Rescue Your Disc Camera Memories Before They're Lost Forever

Professional Disc Negative Scanning to Digital Images and Prints

$39 Per Disc includes expert scanning and professional Photoshop editing on every image

Do you have a box of Kodak disc camera negatives from the 1980s sitting in a drawer? Those tiny, circular film discs hold irreplaceable childhood memories, birthday parties, family gatherings, and moments that can never be recreated. But here's the problem: disc camera film was notorious for poor quality even when it was new—and it's only getting worse with age.

We specialize in rescuing disc camera negatives. Our expert technicians have the specialized equipment and experience needed to scan these challenging 8x10mm images and transform them into digital files you can actually enjoy and share.

What Are Disc Camera Negatives?

Between 1982 and 1989, Kodak marketed the disc camera as the future of photography. The cameras were incredibly thin and easy to use—you simply dropped in a disc cartridge and started shooting. Each disc held 15 exposures on tiny 8x10mm negatives arranged in a circle.

The problem? The negatives were so small that even professional labs struggled to make decent prints. The images were grainy, often out of focus, and the color quality was poor. Many people took irreplaceable photos with disc cameras only to discover they could barely see the details.

But we can help. With modern scanning technology and expert Photoshop editing, we can extract far more detail and color from your disc negatives than was ever possible in the 1980s.

This is What a Disc Negative Looks Like

Important: We Scan Developed Negatives Only

We do NOT develop disc film. If your disc film has already been developed (it looks like the images above), we can scan it. If you have undeveloped disc film, you'll need to have it developed first—though finding a lab that still processes disc film is extremely difficult.

The good news: Most disc film cartridges were returned to customers already developed. If you can see tiny images on the disc, it's ready for us to scan.

What's Included in Our $39 Per Disc Service

Professional scanning: We use specialized equipment designed to handle the unique challenges of disc negatives—the tiny image size, the curved disc format, and the often-degraded film quality.

Expert Photoshop editing: Every single image receives individual attention. We correct color casts, improve contrast, reduce grain, and extract as much detail as possible from these challenging negatives.

High-resolution digital files: You'll receive digital files that are far superior to any prints you could have gotten in the 1980s.

Optional prints: Want physical prints of your rescued images? We can produce high-quality prints from your newly scanned disc negatives.

Experience that matters: We've been scanning challenging film formats since 2002. We understand the technical issues with disc film and know how to get the best possible results.

Why Disc Cameras Failed (And Why Your Photos Matter Anyway)

Let's be honest: disc cameras were terrible. The film format was introduced in 1982 with great fanfare, but photographers quickly discovered serious problems:

The images were blurry and grainy. The 8x10mm negative size was simply too small to capture detail.

The cameras had no shutter click. Photographers couldn't tell when the picture was actually taken, leading to motion blur and out-of-focus shots.

The color quality was poor. Disc film never achieved the color reproduction of standard 35mm film.

Enlargements were disappointing. Even a standard 4x6 print from disc film looked grainy.

By 1989, Kodak had discontinued disc cameras entirely. They even offered incentives to get customers to switch to the newer Advantix format.

But here's what matters: Despite the technical limitations, you took important photos with your disc camera. Birthday parties. First days of school. Family vacations. These moments can't be recreated, and they deserve to be preserved properly.

The Challenge of Scanning Disc Negatives

Disc negatives are among the most difficult film formats to scan. Here's why this service requires specialized expertise:

Tiny negative size: At 8x10mm, these are some of the smallest negatives ever produced for consumer cameras. There's very little detail to work with.

Curved disc format: Unlike film strips, the negatives are arranged in a circle. Standard film scanners can't handle this format.

Poor original quality: Even when new, disc film was grainy and soft. Age hasn't improved it.

Time-consuming process: Each disc negative requires individual handling and careful positioning. This is tedious, specialized work.

That's why we charge $39 per disc. The work is time-intensive, requires specialized equipment, and demands expert attention to extract the best possible quality from these challenging negatives.
