Why use slide film? Use negative film and have the negs put on a photo CD. Slide film can be treacherous if you're not used to it, because of the narrow exposure latitude.If you need it for publication purposes, find a friend with a 35mm negative scanner and get them to scan your slides. You can also get it done commercially, but it costs more. You may or may not get the guy at the airport xray machine to had examine it, so use less than 400 ISO film. Or go digital and solve all your problems at once. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Bell" <[email protected]> To: <pinhole-discussion@p at ???????> Sent: Saturday, July 13, 2002 11:00 AM Subject: [pinhole-discussion] (OT) Scanning Slides
