A FAQ is : how do I scan large numbers of slides without spending the rest of my life doing it?
There aren't too many affordable solutions, but for anyone confronting this problem this one is worth registering. There is an interesting review of the Braun Multimag 4000 filmscanner by Jonathan Eastland, at http://ajaxnetphoto.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html It's a neat device designed to use magazines of mounted slides for batch operation. However the review, which is generally positive, includes the following, slightly disappointing summation of the chances of avoiding the countless man-years of post prod arising from scanning large numbers of Kodachrome originals:- 'ICE does not like conventional silver halide black and white emulsion; neither does it much like Kodachrome, which is essentially a black and white film with the special colour dyes added in processing. On close inspection, the majority of images so processed did not appear to lose time's accumulated foreign matter; their original colour was changed by ROC to something definately not Kodachrome and GEM got rid of what it perceived as noise so well, the final files were all but useless.' Priceless :-) -- Regards Tony Sleep http://tonysleep.co.uk ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
