I've got about several thousand negatives and slides in negative sleeve pages like that, sitting on the shelf the other side of the room from me. There's a bunch there from about '68-75ish, another huge bunch from '80 to '89. I didn't date them, unfortunately, so they're a jumble. What I'm scanning right now as I have time to do it are about 350 slides that I rescued from a set of Kodak Carousel trays I found taking up space in the closet. > There's on big pile of my B&W negatives, but they aren't sorted, dated or > anything.

I might just grab all the binders, box them, and send them off to Scancafe.com in January. It's the only way I'll ever get all of them done. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
