I realise that this question doesn't have a simple answer, but it is
time I started scanning some of my old 35 mm slides and negatives
(mostly b&w).

I would really welcome some comments or experience on hardware in the
"keen amateur" price bracket.

I know I can also "farm it out" but I'm interested in doing some myself
at least to get a feel for what results to inspect. Is there anything
which stands out towards the budget end in terms of value for money or
ease of use?


Get a film holder and use a DSLR or other 10+ megapixel camera.


another option, but not a very good one, particularly for negatives.

Film scanning is dead.


film is dead.

But not forgotten. Which is exactly why it is (sometimes) worth copying
before it decays.
