Slide / negative scanner

[bwana]

Pro fotogs have all moved across to digital so you should be able to pick one of these up cheap.

The nausea inspiring term your looking for is "photog".

Thanks had a quick look there -- not merged yet -- but the advice is pretty much as mentioned here by me.

WHY nausea -- phiber / phreak / phone / phrack -- OK OK PHotog -- your Professional Hunter camera assistant

You call that doing our homework? A machine for 5k-30k??
mmmm ok thanks.

Those prices were shop retail -- if YOU did your homework then you would be looking around in the classsifieds on eBay / Bid-or-Buy / B&H etc etc

Drum Scanner

For the best results, you need a high-end drum scanner. I have one, PM me.

A "real" drum scanner or an "Imacon Flextight" ( IF a Flextight perhaps I know you already

Please could you supply more detail -- eg. do you scan Medium Format , what resolutions , what prices

Thanks

Have a look at the [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000VVWPQK/ref=ord_cart_shr?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=A3GI79VBNSVFZI"]Plustek[/ame] scanners. They're pretty much the next stop down from the Nikon units, but without the massive price tag. The Ai models are the ones to get - they do infrared scanning and has the scratch removal technology.

If a few of you guys are looking into the same thing, i.e. scanning an old pile of slides once-off instead of something for continuous use, then why don't you all agree that one will buy it new, use it, and sell it off for a reasonable price to the next. That way everyone gets to use it for a fair price. Something like, the depreciation = the price divided by the number of people participating. Then sell it of second-hand and split the proceeds, or get someone who needs on for continuous use to be last in the queue.

Koffie sounds like a plan, going to see how much a shop will charge first

Let's just say that I completely agree with the second of the two Urbandictionary.com definitions of photog (even if I might not use the same vernacular).

...Urbandictionary.com definitions of photog (even if I might not use the same vernacular).

The definition is lost on me while my brain tries to fight the urge to correct their choice of vocabulary.

Look genius if I had any luck using Google do you think I would waste my time asking here?
Not everyone has 10k or more lying around for this.
