Scanning Slides

[Gregeff]

Hi all,

My dad wants to archive all of his and the rest of the famillies slides which we have to digital. There are several hundered of these, so will likely take a while.

We would like to get the best quality possible, but also for it to not take tooo long!

What method of scanning would you reccomend? I'm thinking, either a flatbed scanner with a transparency adaptor, a dedicated film scanner or get it done professionally.

Does anyone have any advise on what would be best?

Thanks,

Greg

Thanks guys, i'm thinking the Epson 3590 looks good, is there anything better for around £100?

To reduce the cost, buy a scanner, scan slides, sell scanner.

hehe, yeh i sugested this to him Not sure how much one would go for tho second hand, i can't imagain there is much demand for them

I've given him the options now, i think he'll probably buy the Epson 3490 mentioned above. Then if it's not good enough it's only £55 and it can be used for normal scanning duties.

Thanks for all the input guys
