Wanted: Scanner for Negatives, slides, prints
I'm considering purchasing a scanner to process a huge amount of film
negatives, slides and old prints that our family has. Can someone give me their thoughts on what type of system to purchasse? I'm not made of money so would be looking for something at the low end of prices. I'm into digital photography so once the family pictures are finished I'm not sure I would have much need for it. So if you have some experience with any type of this equipment, I would like to hear from you about your system, whether it be good bad or indifferent. |

The cheapest combo is a used HP S20. It will do mounted and unmounted
slides, negative strips up to 5 frames, and prints up to 5x7 in size. With luck, you could find one for $100 - $150. I'm using mine primarily for old, curled up prints. My flatbed doesn't hold them properly. Cheers, Jeff. carolsstamps wrote: I'm considering purchasing a scanner to process a huge amount of film negatives, slides and old prints that our family has.
