A colleague of mine is quite into his photography and has a dSLR. He's probably leaving/retiring at the end of the year and he's a true gent so I always like to help him out where I can. He's got loads, and I mean boxes, of old photo from the days of film cameras! He wants to sort through them and scan them in so he can save space on the photos. I did try to help him find a scanner with a film scanning accessory but we didn't succeed there.
So apart from spending, hours, weeks, months scanning 2-3 photos at a time on a flatbed scanner, what would be the best (quickest) way of scanning many, many photographs? I'd like to find the quickest and easiest way of bulk scanning all the photos he's got.
I did suggest a document scanner but he'd have to prepare so many sheets of A4 paper and stick 2-3 photos per sheet on with the risk that the document scanner might not like having paper + photo being sent through its mechanism.
I don't think there's much point in suggesting a budget to adhere to until I get some ideas of the possible solutions and how much my colleague is willing to pay himself.
Cheers in advance.
