Going digital is a great idea, unfortunately i've not got $5000 to spare to pick up a nice camera. I've already purchased the slide film, though i do have a bunch of negative film too. hopefully i will be able to persuade the security people to hand check my bag. i do plan on using the slide film, so the question remains, where can i get it scanned?
