Scanner to convert Negative to image file

Post by **Lee** » Thu Jun 04, 2009 11:49 am

I'd hundreds of old Negatives which I want to archive them into image files of fairly good quality without taking too much time.

I'm thinking of using either :-

- All in One Printer Scanner (exisitnig HP one)
- Document Scanner only c/w Negative adapter (Epson?)
- Photo Negative Scanner

Has anyone has experience with any of the above. My budget is about S$300 and it should be easy & fast to scan with pretty good conversion. I want to let my Sec1 daughter to help with the scanning during this holiday.

Thanks!

Most scanners are slow. I upgraded by epson perfection to a V10 sometime back but scanning one strip took about 10 min!
I think this should be your desired solution. A small CCD negative photo taking machine that convert each negative photo very quickly.

Use a DSLR with a slide copier attachment!

Make sure you get one with an interchangeable adaptor for film negatives.
