I would like to scan [more than] a few reels of Super8 Kodachrome movie film.
I realize that there are telecine transfer services that could do that, but the quality varies, and I am unwilling to pay $50/reel (slightly over 2 min of 24fps footage) for the truly high end service, which, by the way, still does not give the quality that matches what I had scanned by hand on my Epson 3200 Photo scanner. What I look for is an affordable (under $400 new; ideally under $300) 2800 dpi 35mm or 35mm/APS film scanner that I would mechanically modify to scan the whole reel of Super8 film. Software changes would need to be made, as I would like to do separate the frames and save them, and "frame-by-frame preview and scan model" good for 35mm strips, does not lend itself to 50ft of Super8 footage. Which of the film scanner manufacturers make API's / SDK's available for their scanners that would allow at least the software aspect of this to be taken care of? (Minolta does not do this, apparently). Thank you!
