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. -- teleportation kills |

That's what I was impling in that if you only have a few then it's usually best to get someone else to do it for you rather than buy the equipment and spend the time doing it oneself. What sort of res does said scanner need to produce? I have a 1200 flatbed. Thing is, even if it were up to the job, I wouldn't have a clue where to start. I have a Reflecta x7-Scan From http://www.photographyblog.com/news/reflecta_x7/ The Reflecta x7-Scan is a standalone device that enables users to quickly digitise their 35mm slides as well as 110 and 125 format films. Rather than scanning the film frames, the Reflecta x7 uses a 14-megapixel area-array sensor for the digitisation, which promises to deliver similar results to a conventional 3200ppi film scanner. This solution allows the Reflecta x7 to produce a digital image in just 2 seconds. The new addition to the Reflecta range features a 2.4" LCD screen, comes with an integrated SD-SDHC card slot, and boasts a battery operating time of 2.5 hours. The device comes supplied with film holders for three mounted slides, film strips up to six exposures, 110mm film strips up to eight exposures and 126mm (instamatic) film for up to seven exposures. --- As it says, it is not high quality, but it is very good for scanning old negatives for the collection fast, and then decide which one to have scanned by a professional. -- Cheers, Carlos. |
