Re: [PLUG] SANE not quite easy - Resolution
I only have between 300 and 400 of the batch I'm interested in for now. There is no way I will entrust my grandparents negatives to shippers and a lab.

Some film processing is better than others. I have some excellent prints (and negatives) from early 1950s Germany, taken with a Leica by my dad and processed by a local camera shop there. He reported that the processing in the US was so bad when he got back to the States, that he sold the camera.

I would encourage you to scan a few negatives/transparencies, measure the time it takes and extrapolate to cover all your negatives/positives.

Re: [PLUG] SANE not quite easy - Resolution
There is a guy in Seattle named Andrew Filer, who I met in a then-hackerspace called Metrix:Create who modified a Kodak Carousel projector in such a way as to backlight the slides (reduced wattage of the bulb, replaced the heat shield with frosted glass), basically used the projector as a slide advancing robot, removed the lens, and aimed a digital SLR with a macro lens back at the slide and photographed the slide. With some simple transistor circuits, you could automate the camera's shutter release and the slide advance. You could do a whole tray of slides in a few minutes with very little supervision.
