The only two photos labs in my small town are a WalMart and Walgreens. Both of which provide pitifully small scans on their photo CDs. And that's if they don't damage your film.
There is one pro lab in the next town, but as I live without a motor vehicle the only way to get it there is through the mail which adds to the cost. And I've never been real comfortable with mailing film around anyway. But it looks like that's probably the way I'll go. ~Nick David Wright http://pedalingprose.wordpress.com/ ----- Original Message ---- From: Walter Hamler <[email protected]> To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 8:29:00 PM Subject: Re: film scanners To the best of my knowledge the only new scanners in that category would be a flatbed type with a transparancy/negative scan adapter. Several of the higher end Epsons are very good at this but cost over 400 typically. A friend has an older Coolscan IV but his is a scuzzi version that wil not work with Vista and there is no further tech support for it from Nikon. I have an old HP Scan Jet that works pretty good. However, I have discovered that the local Costco does really excellent scans from slides for .29 each. For that price I just use them, and have for about a thousand scans to date.
