Eric--I am not sure if I can help you but I was faced with the same problem--except I have a 50 year collection. I bought an Epson 4870 Pro scanner which does a beautiful job. It is a slow process but I end up with great images and am very happy. Epson now has a newer model so the 4870 might be available for less$. The reviews in Shutterbug magazine were very good--check them out.

If you have additional questions, I will be happy to respond.

I have a briefcase full of prints and negatives that I have taken since '82. My negative collection is more complete since some filthy relatives have decided to help themselves to my better prints.

I would like to know the best, most cost effective, way to scan my negatives into the computer. At one time, I remember seeing a negative-only scanner at Comp USA, but the software was Winders only. Is there a similar product for the Mac or should I just go ahead and buy a plain old flatbed scanner.

Thanks for any suggestions.
