35 mm film processing

Ok, so I've been shooting with 35 mm cameras on and off since 1982 (in HS) and as a wedding photographer and also as tech at a one hour photo lab. Recently, I picked up my camera again after a long period of having laid it down. Here's my question where can I send my film to be processed and get back RAW scans of DNG format scans of my negatives? I'm sick of getting oddly "corrected" jpegs or tiff files. If that's what I wanted, I would just use my phone camera and edit in Snapseed. Any help would be appreciated.

I gave up on labs for processing and scanning.I now process and scan myself. I suggest you invest in a film scanner or use a digital camera with a macro lens and light table or tablet. Either way, you can "scan" RAW images and can even bracket them and do HDR for full dynamic range. If you go with a flatbed scanner, I recommend getting Silverfast as opposed to using the scanner software. Silverfast allows for DNG and HDR capture. If you have a digital camera also, do a Google search for "Scanning film with DSLR". There are plenty of people doing just that. Enjoy!
