Some film processing is better than others. I have some excellent prints (and negatives) from early 1950s Germany, taken with a Leica by my dad and processed by a local camera shop there. He reported that the processing in the US was so bad when he got back to the States, that he sold the camera.

I would encourage you to scan a few negatives/transparencies, measure the time it takes and extrapolate to cover all your negatives/positives. When I did that years ago, I quickly realized that scanners are just too slow for what I wanted to do in a time given to me by mother nature - by couple of

There is a guy in Seattle named Andrew Filer, who I met in a then-hackerspace called Metrix:Create who modified a Kodak Carousel projector in such a way as to backlight the slides (reduced wattage of the bulb, replaced the heat shield with frosted glass), basically used the projector as a slide adv

Gotcha. I don't have any better solutions for that. If they were slides, I'd suggest the method I used in Seattle a few years ago, that went through about 3000+ slides in kodak projector carousels is an afternoon. Automation++. On Wed, Jun 27, 2018 at 10:32 AM, Michael Rasmussen wrote: > Of p

Of primary interest are 2 1/4 x 2 3/4 (6x9cm) negatives from my grandparents. After that 35mm negatives. I was entrusted to my grandparents' negatives and am feeling a responsibility to scan them into digital files for my relatives. On 2018-06-27 10:10, Russell Senior wrote: What kind of tran
