I took them to my local photography shop, but the results were pathetic, un-focused, very poor quality!
I can see by just holding the slides up to the light that they are well focused pictures, which should produce good digital pictures.
I've tried scanning them on my multi-function Epson printer, but it just won't scan film without an adapter.

I can get a slide scanner on eBay for $70 plus postage, but it seems a rather expensive way to get just 5 slides done.

I'm happy to send them off for processing to someone reliable who will make some effort to produce acceptable results!

Your advice would be much appreciated!

Cheers
Chris
My Scanner has an adapter for slides and while I would be willing to give it a go if you can find someone with more experience to do it for you I would get them to do it but if you want me to I will give it a go but be warned I will be learning as I go
