Hi Roger,
I have an Epson V700 or V750 (I can't remember), it's downstairs in the garage at the moment.
A couple of years back, a work colleague gave me a project to do which included scanning thousands of negatives. It took me quite a while to do, but, my goodness, what an awesome project it was. I got to look through someone's life; memories of migrating from England in the 50s and settling in Tasmania. Some absolutely beautiful images.
In the end, he gave me a JB Hi-Fi voucher worth several hundred dollars for my efforts.
How many do you reckon you have to scan?
H
