I have a substantial number (240) of slides from 30 years ago that I need

to
scan.

I have a Coolscan III, which produces beautiful scans but takes 1 minute

per
slide. I figure I can average 40 slides per hour scanned, processed, and
saved with meaningful names. That means it's a 6-hour project.

I also have the slide copying adapter for my Coolpix 990, but have not

been
satisfied with the quality.

My questions:

(1) Can someone recommend a commercial slide scanning service that can
accept slides in Carousel trays and return them to me in the same trays

(in
the same positions)?


So you'd rather spend those same 6 hours...

Finding a service...
Driving to that service...
Paying your money for questionable quality results at that service...
Waiting...
Driving back to pick them up...
-And whatever other messing around you'll inevitably do...

Seems to me 6 hours isn't all too bad after all!
