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 Andy,
There is not much you can do unless you have lots of $$$$ to give to a lab and scan each negative. You will need the time and a negative scanner.
There are some cheap places...Sam Club, Wal-Mart and Costco may scan these negs for you, but they are not hi-res scans. You are going to want at least a 5mb scan - some cheap scans can be as low as 100kb.
My suggestion...if you have contact sheets, pick out the shots you want scanned and start with the best and work down from there.
