Stock Photography FAQ

Will Stock Agencies accept 35mm film?

Yes, most stock agencies will accept 35mm - although it is common practice for agencies to submit larger format duplicate transparencies to photo-buyers for review. Photo-buyers have a tendency to select images they have an easier time seeing on their light tables and assume that the quality of the image is technically superior - even though, ironically, they may well be selecting a second generation duplicate that will not have as much information on it as the smaller 35mm original would contain.
