Anyone?
Got to be someone I can trust to get them back, so those who know something I don't about anyone who volunteers please watch my back via PMs... Only had an hour or two with the car, but I'd love to try and give something back to this fellowship of 914ers. pete |

Pete,
How many are we talking here? I'll be out of town for a few weeks, but I can do it if its only a few rolls. Im guessing they are from the 916 in the latest Excellence? (best issue ever BTW!) I have a flatbed w/ a transparency lid that does pretty good work. Not as good as a drum scan or even something like my brothers minolta slide scanner, but still pretty darn good (can resolve the dye clouds). Ever since I converted to digital bodies a few years back I haven't shot any more slide film (and thus I haven't done it in a while.) Which begs the question: Why the heck are you guys still shooting w/ film - unless they are medium format or something larger;) SMD |

QUOTE(Hammy @ Dec 26 2006, 05:56 PM) Yeah, I said that too until I bought one;) Two dSLRs and >10k pics later say Im a convert. A pro drum scan would be better if you're looking to enlarge it to a poster size, but any scanner will get enough res for the largest of screens. Even modern bed scanners can resolve the dye clouds(slides) or grain(negatives). Any more resolution isn't necessary. If there are lots of pics, someone w/ an autofeeder would get the job done far easier. |
