G Geoff Messages 20 Edit My Images No 8 Feb 2009 #1 I've got the use of a device for digitising 35mm slides and negatives, but I have some even older larger negatives in a variety of sizes. Any advice from someone who have experience of turning such negatives into digial files would be appreciated.

P Paul MR Messages 188 Edit My Images Yes 9 Feb 2009 #3 I have also had some good result from my flatbed. Epson Perfection 3200 A few years old now so should be cheap. Here is a review. http://www.photo-i.co.uk/Reviews/interactive/Scanners/Epson_3200/page_1.htm I believe the latest model is the 4990? http://www.epson.co.uk/products/scanners/Perfection4990Photo.htm They are a great scanner for normal use and very fast.
