Looking for suggestions on scanning old 35mm slides. We have several hundred 35mm slides found at my wife's mother's house that are approximately 50 years old. Most are in pretty good shape. Would like to scan these to jpg and distribute to the rest of the family on CD/DVD. Anyone have any experience doing this?
By no means is this a complete list of what's available, just a few that I've found:
Services:
FotoBridge
ScanCafe - I really like their service, will post all scans on the internet and you only pick and pay for the ones you want burnt to media - however the scans are done in Bangalore!
Scanners (would only consider low end):
Plustek
Ion
The advantage of purchasing a scanner over using a service is that I would also be able to scan in 35mm color negative film. The disadvantage is the time it takes, which would be considerable.
