Question
Hi   
i have about 200 rolls of films (regular 35 MM) halh are color and half B&W.
What would be the best way to get them scanned? I dont have time to sit and
scan one shot at a time with regular scanner that scannes negatives.
Is there an easy way?
Thank you very much

Answer
Short of taking the rolls of film to lab that does this sort of thing I think you're going to have to bite the bullet and scan them individually.  Doing them as a batch on a flat bed scanner won't give you the results you need to make a decent print out of the negative.

Nobody says you have to scan each and every negative out of a roll, so be judicious.

Good luck,

Joe
