May 29, 201313 yr I want to scan in a few thousand old negatives. Most are 110 and 35mm. I have not yet purchased a scanner to do this with. Has anyone else ever done this and if so, what device did you use? I am looking at this one right now: Plustek OpticFilm 8200 Ai 35mm Film Slide Scanner The problem is it is only for 35mm.
May 30, 201313 yr Active Members I used an older version of this one. And here's another one that looks like it might be better. But let me tell you that it was tedious. I think I was able to scan a half-dozen slides at a time, but each image had to be saved separately. Even in flat-out 'production mode', I doubt you'll spend less than a minute per slide. I did it because I wanted high quality, and the local scanning service was merely middlin'. Hope someone has a better suggestion. Or perhaps you could hire an eager college student to run them through for you over the summer.
May 30, 201313 yr Do you have a tablet or IPad? You can use it for scanning your films... I can do it for you with my scanners but it will cost you.. I want to go back to my home but the Magic slippers don't seem to be working... I guess you have to come get me in your hot ballon.. Here is a clip that shows you can scan your negatives..
May 30, 201313 yr Active Members Finding a scanner with an adapter for 110 film may be difficult. Doing it manually will be tedious. Maybe look at Costco? I know they have a film scanning service. At least for the 35, or maybe if you have a good-sized photographic store still in business around you...
