Peter Well, several hundred boxes of thirty means some multiple of 3000 images. I hope you plan to do only a selection, but if your numbers are going to be high you'd best buy a Nikon dedicated film scanner. Commercial scanning will be far more expensive than the $500 or so you'll invest in the CoolScan, and you could always sell it back on ebay when you are finished. It's still going to take you time, but if you hand off even a few hundred slides for commercial scanning, the cost is going to be up there. That's a lotta time scanning, too. I did a few hundred, and it took forever. The most economical solution is to buy a scanner, hire a high school kid to do the scanning, and sell the scanner on eBay when the project is complete. I don't I can hire anyone, sure not a kid from my school, these are what might be described as highly erotic. My old man died a few months back in a car wreck and I have just been given all his stuff. In it is the greatest collection of private porn I have ever heard of. All pretty good quality, he was a cameraman for a local TV station and did all their photo work too. He had his own lab. I have a totally new respect for him. Wow! It's all too good to waste, need to get it into a digital format and then I can decide what I'll print. I guess I'll have to buy a scanner. I tried doing some with a slide copier on a DSLR but it is way too slow. Gave me a good idea of how good the quality was though. Peter Don't think of going to a professional copy service, or any copy service for that matter. They are bound to report to the police any porn images they find, and you could find yourself in the slammer. The same goes for computer repairs too. If a repair service finds porn on your computer, you're a goner. I am neutral where porn is concerned; if it's private and nobody knows, fine. If somebody finds out, trouble. Your only course of action is to scan them yourself, and keep it quiet. You took a risk just by putting the info on this group. As far as the law is concerned, possession is the thing. No matter where the images came from, if you possess a copy, that's it if you are caught. Colin D. ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

You're being unnecessarily alarmist: I know several services around here (Bay Area) that would do such a job and not bat an eyelash. Not everyone is an amateur porn patroller, though there are some and one would want to avoid them. If 'twere me, I'd just ask first. -- "Wikipedia ... it reminds me ... of dogs barking idiotically through endless nights. It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it. It drags itself out of the dark abyss of pish, and crawls insanely up the topmost pinnacle of posh. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and doodle. It is balder and dash." - With apologies to H. L. Mencken |
