Yes, after a long search, I finally decided to ask a
professional
protographer to digitize my old films and slides instead of buying a
scanner. For film, it comes to about 0.25 € per image, and 0.50 € per
slide. I found cheaper on the web, but I don't know about the quality.
Yuh. Most of the recommendations I got were "buy a Coolscan on eBay
and sell it after a year like everyone does when they've done their
pile of negatives". I'll probably do that as I'm a complete control
addict. (Same reason I bought an expensive-to-run photo printer rather
than paying less for someone else to print photos for me.)
There are still Coolscan III circulating out there, ISA SCSI card and
all ...I *think* there's a computer here with an ISA slot ... Coolscan
III going rate is about £150, Coolscan IV/V is £400-800.
