I have a Nikon Coolscan and could scan them for you and put the files on a CD. You'ld have to trust me with the slides. erick...@hickorytech.net - Original Message - From: Chris Peregoy pere...@umbc.edu To: pinhole-discussion pinhole-discussion@p at ???

Re: [pinhole-discussion] (OT) Scanning Slides
Steve, You have some interesting replies so far, so I'll keep this brief so that you do not get overwhelmed by all the good answers. 1. If you are interested in scanning to Photo CD and are going to do more than 100 scans, consider a trip to CompUSA. Most of them carry a small dedicated 35mm film scanner the Primefilm 1800U It isn't high on the technology side, and most people who read specs only will tell you not to buy this. I, an actual user of this scanner, will tell you from experience, that it creates a scan equal in quality to a Photo CD. My prices here for a Photo CD are approximately 1.39 per image. Therefore to pay for this $189.00 gem of a film scanner requires me to get at least 136 scans out of this unit. Easy, I'm already half way there. Another benefit is that many Photo CD's provide quite dirty images from slide film, just a personal experience. With the inexpensive film scanner you can get cleaner images. Also you get the joy of giggling like a school girl when your friend who has to have the latest and the best in equipment buys a $1000+ film scanner... hehe. 2. Find a friend with a higher quality film scanner and buy them pizza and beer. -- that way you both benefit. 3. If you live in a large area, quite possibly some mini-lab in your area has one of the Fuji Frontier machines. Check your local Sam's club, many have these for one-hour machines. The Frontier can scan and make prints from slides and also create Photo CD's. Suprisingly the quality is quite good. The prints however, are utterly amazing, like nothing else from a minilab. Hope this little bit of info helps, and I am envious of your trip - need an assistant?

I do have some 1600 film in my bag (fuji Neopan 1600, to be precise, i figured some black and white won't hurt), and i will certainly want that to be hand inspected.

Get a used Olympus 3000 digi cam. They're Great, 3 million pixels. buy some of the new 128k smartcards at a discount-about $40 with rebates-and some rechargeable batteries. But straight AA's may be alright if you take enough. I took mine to the Galapagos with no problems.

Slide film can be treacherous if you're not used to it, because of the narrow exposure latitude.If you need it for publication purposes, find a friend with a 35mm negative scanner and get them to scan your slides. You can also get it done commercially, but it costs more. You may or may not get the guy at the airport xray machine to had examine it, so use less than 400 ISO film. Or go digital and solve all your problems at once. - Original Message - From: Steve Bell veracity...@earthlink.net To: pinhole-discussion@p at ???
