No he didn't...

Oh yes he did.

on the 28th Feb Paul C said"I live in the middle of nowhere. If I can
get something cheap enough, I would probably find a bit more use for
it later. I've got quite a few negs in disc format. Dunno if I'd be
able to scan them. "

That was not in the OPs OP as you claimed. :-ppp

He said he wanted to scan a few negs and updated it to negs on discs.

Then he didn't say so from the beginning then!

No which is why I altered what I was thinking of as a method of scanning.


Scanning Kodacolor Discs may seem a tad stupid but yet a challenge! I
had a looksie at shoot of one of the and on top of my head I'd say
that removing the plastic holder and put it on a highress flatbed
could be a solution. Film is fading. Don't waste time... Remove that
plastic and throw them all at thou scanner now!


yes and that is why I didn't think the standalone scanners which are
really meant to scan 35mm film and above usually in a strip or mounted
wouldn't be much use so yes a flatbed hi-res scanner would be best but
not many people would consider buying them to scan a few negs. In this
situation might be better to go to someone that has done it before
maybe a commercail enterprise and pay someone to do it rathe rthan
spend 3-400 on a flatbed scanner that might not get used again.


Some folks know folks that might have an Epson perfection 5-800 around
and the OP did not seem to have that much to scan.
