AboutDavid Barry Expertise I have a lot of experience in most traditional forms of photography, so I`m quite knowledgeable about things like camera types and formats, techniques, exposure, film types, colour, filters, lighting, standard colour and black and white developing and printing.
I do not make recommendations about brands or models, and I am not a camera technician so I may not be able to tell you what is wrong with your equipment if it`s not working .
I also know a little about digital photography and imaging with scanners and digital cameras, so ask me and I will answer if I can.

Question Hi,
have some glass slides with film negatives on them.
What are they? are they collectors items?
Some are very well know people, does this mean they are originals?
thanks
Answer Some glass negatives could be collectors' item, depending (so I believe) on their condition. I would suggest you find and approach an antiques dealer or valuer, who may have a better idea of their $ worth
I would say they are originals, NOT because they are of well-known people, but simply because they are of that type of image.
Glass negatives are one of the earliest types of photographs, dating back to possibly late 1800's, or at least early 1900's.
