Last time I checked, there was only one place I could find that would do a
direct super 16 negative to 35mm estar print,
without going the IP/IN route, and that was Metropolis. I don't think Metro
is doing traditional optical work anymore.

The price was around $9K.

There is a film recorder called the Piql (used to be the Cinevator) that
allows you to go from DI to 35mm estar print. Of course you have to have a
digital file (DI), which assumes you scanned the negative. The only place I
know of in North American that has one of these is Technicolor, and their
Piql is not set-up to go DI direct to 35mm print.

You could try Janice at Cinema Arts or Dick at Film Technology to see if
they can do a direct blow-up, but the price
will likely be as much as Metropolis if not higher.

I think LIFT has an optical camera for blow-ups? You could fly/drive up to
Toronto and use their camera for the price of
the room plus stock.

Gibbs Chapman in SF had an optical camera from ILM that he was setting up.
You might contact Gibbs and see if he
is providing this service.
