The old fashioned way to telecine is cheapest: project film on to a wall
and shoot with your video camera---did it that way for years and still
do with student films. Find the shutter speed on your video camera that
minimizes the flicker.
OR
Costco (yes, the big discount chain) offers film transfer to
digital---never tired it but sure to be cheapest.
Outside of that, Echo Park Film Center in Los Angeles used to offer a
cheap deal on transfers.
Yale Film & Video in Burbank will do a relatively cheap SD telecine,
even when you supervise with the operator.
I also got a very good price for an 16mm HD scan at Pro8mm in Burbank,
which they did overnight at no extra charge. That was from already
processed reversal film. Pro8mm has package deals for processing and
transfer to digital---you'd have to check their website if you haven't
already. None of is going to be cheap, for sure.
Good luck!

Anyone know of a lab that does processing and telecine for relatively cheap cus
the prices that im seein at all the major film labs are out of control. I just
have 12 rolls of super 8 that I wanna see and edit and I cant even afford to
send em out. What should I do? I cant be spending 100s of dollars on frickin
super 8. Jesus christ! Why is telecine so expensive?
