Old Film to digital

[gpc1]

Hi all

Long time since i posted.

I have 1000's of old negatives from my film days and want to scan to digital, mainly as a preservation tghing but would also like to be able to edit them (not ideal but would like the option).

Can you recommend
A - A scanning company that would do a good job at a fair price
b - A scanner so that i tackle it myself (or get the wife to do it!!)

Thanks all

Have a look at something like this

I had one a while back, was quite a good investment!

Take yourself over to the Film and Conventional section, it's the most popular topic after the 'where to my film processed' thread.

If you've have literally 1000s it might be worth getting an Epson V500 at £150. I'm very happy with mine.

Depends on the price of getting them scanned by a company I suppose.

.....mine was £133 from Amazon, worth every penny.
