Large format slides

[giljones]

A friend of mine has several hundred 2.25"slides which he wishes to scan ino the digital process. Has anyone found an easy way of doing this,. Gilbert Jones

You will need to have a dedicated scanner such as the Nikon or the Minolta for medium format film

Both are very expensive.

Hi Gilbert

I have successfully used a light box and macro lens to copy 35mm slides, it compared very favourably with scanned slides and a lot quicker.

I would assume the same could be done with 2.25" slides too. Getting the right white balance was the only problem I had.

Cheers

take them to your local photoshop who does this work -- from my own experience it is very time consuming as well the cost of the scanner

this group is dedicated to the type of Scanners Ron mentions

Hi Gilbert

Post them to me & I'll copy them to a CD or DVD, the cost is about 20p per slide plus £1 for the CD DVD. Send me a PM or go to my website at www.espicdigitalmedia.co.uk and use the contact page. Discount for over 50, 100, or 200.
