Transferring Negatives

spudbynight · 22 May 2011 at 18:43

I have some negatives I want to transfer to digital images.

I don't have a huge amount of them. Am I best off sending them to someone to get them transferred or doing it myself?

If I send them off - any recommendations on the best place to send them?

If I do them myself how straight forward is it?

Any recommendations on services to get them transferred?

Also, let me know about your scanner. Roughly what sort of price are you looking for?

OK - revisting this.

I have picked up some negatives from my mother. A large number are 110 negatives. There are also some 126 and other odd format negatives.

Cheapest pro place for 110 negatives is coming in at 44p per negative. I have a few thousand of these so pro is too expensive.

I have just ordered a Conon 9000f scanner as it seems to be able to handle these in a roundabout way. Any suggestions from anyone else on this?

It is the 110 negatives that are going to be the biggest issue.

I have also ordered a Vero negative scanner for £60 online. It isn't an actual scanner - it is a digital camera with a fixed focal length but the results MIGHT be acceptable.

I will play around with the Canon as well to see what is best. I have some 35mm and medium format negatives which will be OK with the Canon.
