mama don’t take my Kodachrome From: Ken Hohhof Sent: Monday, November 30, 2015 5:15 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: 35mm Slide Scanner
> mostly slides from the 50s and 60's they're kinda grainy If these are Kodachrome (50’s) or Kodachrome II (60’s), and have not degraded with time, they should not be grainy, in fact that was probably the pinnacle of slide film. Films got faster but generally that meant more grain. ASA 25 Kodachrome = good stuff. Unfortunately needed a commercial lab to process it, and I believe the last one shut down quite a few years ago. When I think back On all the crap I learned in high school It’s a wonder I can think at all And though my lack of education Hasn’t hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world’s A sunny day, oh yeah I got a Nikon camera I love to a photograph So mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away If you took all the girls I knew When I was single And brought them all together For one night I know they’d never match My sweet imagination Everything looks worse In black and white Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world’s A sunny day, oh yeah I got a Nikon camera I love to a photograph So mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away From: Nate Burke Sent: Monday, November 30, 2015 5:56 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: 35mm Slide Scanner That looks to be like a $2000 unit. It looks really good, but a little out of my price range. I think I'm going to try this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O46B7TY It seems to have gotten mostly good reviews. I know that it's not the highest resolution, but these are mostly slides from the 50s and 60's they're kinda grainy as it is.

You should be able to do basic stuff like you're asking in jpg format, but if you've got the space and a decent scanner, I would keep a copy in raw format as well - gives you more flexibility later. -Jason On Fri, Nov 27, 2015 at 12:14 AM, Nate Burke <n...@blastcomm.com> wrote: I was out at the 'rents today, and they pulled out a bunch of their 35mm slides. Some of them are great family pictures, and historical to the area where they live. I'd love to be able to scan them so they're more easily viewable. Looking for recommendations for a good and easy to use Slide scanner that hopefully won't break the bank. Also, is there a file format which is better to use to be able to add notes to the picture. Like Date it was taken, and who is in the photo?
