Sanning 35mm negatives & slides
My buddy from the BVI and I were talking about all the old 35mm slides and
negatives we have from the good 'ole days. We both decided we need a scanner so we can share old pictures with family & friends. He lives on a 32' sailboat on Tortola so a smaller dedicated unit might suit him. I have the room... and will have other uses, like copying documents (seem to do this a lot for moms affairs) so I ordered a Canon CanoScan CS8800F from FutureShop at a sale price of $199.99 CDN. Anyone have any experience scanning their old film/slides over to digital? Here's the unit.. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...gon=&langid=EN Note: the sale price expired yesterday. |

I've used my older Epson 1660 for scanning some 35mm slides. It works quite well although a little tedious loading and unloading the slides for scanning. |

Got a nice Brother MFC laser printer with fax for a little over $100. Got a Brother MFC laser printer for the bus for under $50. Both do an excellent job of scanning color photos. I have no idea whether or not they can "sann" film, slides, or negatives. Let us know how your unit does on these items. The N/A, next to transparencies in the specs, tends to make me think that Cannon can't do what you bought it for. |

Yes, that seems to be a limiter, but if you have a lot of slides, then that could be a cheap ticket. |

The limiting function on a lot of them is the loading of the slides. Some take way too long. Seems as if most of the decent ones in the US are about $100. |

I have the room... and will have other uses, like copying documents (seem to do this a lot for moms affairs) so I ordered a Canon CanoScan CS8800F from FutureShop at a sale price of $199.99 CDN. Anyone have any experience scanning their old film/slides over to digital? Here's the unit.. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...0665000FS10094... Note: the sale price expired yesterday. I have one of these: http://nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/...m-Scanners/923... and the results are stunning. The software really works well also, getting rid of scratches, grain, etc. But it really slows down scanning time from maybe 40 seconds per shot to maybe 1-2 minutes per shot if you have to do a lot of software processing/correction of bad film. Steve Sounds like a quality unit..although a bit pricey at $600.00. (acording to one site) You can get them used in excellent condition for half that. People buy one, scan in all their negatives and don't generate anymore so there's nothing left to scan. Then they sell it. Steve That's one of the reasons I bought the Canon CS8800F flatbed scanner. It's versatile...I'll be using it off & on for years... and at $200.00 CDN (about $160.00 US) not a big layout of cash.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Tell me how it works out Don. *********************************** Will do...should be here tomorrow. |

But if you buy the Nikon used and then sell it for the same you bought it for when you're finished scanning, you haven't layed out any cash permanently. And in the meantime you get higher quality scans in less time. And you can always keep your flatbed scanner for years. Only reason I went the way I did is because I have boxes and boxes of negatives and the auto film handling really speeds up the process. And if I'm going to go through the time and effort of scanning them in, I want high quality scans. My time involved is worth a lot more than the few bucks I might lose (or make) when I sell it. Of course, if your film shots are not good quality to begin with, you'll just get a high quality scan of drech. In that case, you won't see much difference between the scanners. Steve |
