How do I get 35mm camera photos onto the computer?

I thought about getting the 35mm fisheye camera, but that takes film, and I dont understand how you get those pictures on the computer? Can you please help me so I know if I should buy it or not. Thank you to those that do. :)

    You’d have to buy a scanner for your computer.

    When you get them developed, as them to put them on a CD as well. It will cost a bit more, but it is the easiest way.

    If the photos have already been printed, use a quality scanner.

    Note: If you don’t have a scanner, try the library first, or alternately an Internet Cafe.

    You’ve seriously never heard of a scanner??

    Photo labs have been scanning pictures from film since at least 1997 or 1998…at least, I know that was the first time I started seeing them offer to scan your pictures and save them onto a cd.

    And how do you think pictures were posted on the internet before digital cameras? The internet was around LONG before digital cameras became popular. Pictures were taken with FILM and then scanned and posted online. I took a journalism class in college around 1998 or 1999, and all of our pictures for the school newspaper and our website were taken with 35mm film and then scanned after the film and pictures were developed.

    I’m so happy to hear that you’re wanting to shoot film! Yaay!

    Yes – as others have suggested (some more politely than others), you’ll take your film to your local photo lab and ask to have your film scanned to a CD at time of developing.

    Shooting film is so much fun; especially the anticipation of waiting to get your negatives back from the lab. Alternatively, you can shoot true black and white film, process it at home yourself and then take your negatives to the lab to have scanned or buy a dedicated film scanner for home use. A bit of money upfront if you want to develop your own film – but so rewarding and worth every penny.

    The ilford website has some great information if you’re looking to develop your own black and white film.
