Negatives @ Slides to JPGs on PC

[darcydark]

Could anyone advise me on buying a USB scanner or whatever to transfer my slides and negatives unto my PC.
I have been told there is no good ones out there yet but I am hoping. Thanks anyone who can help.

There have been film scsnners around for ages. Check eBay.

HP do a great USB scanner (550), pricey as it's 4 in 1. Fax/copier/scan/ansafone/printer (incl envelopes).

Flat-bed scanners with parallel ports are for free on Freecycle.org.uk.

My friend is having excellent results with a device similar to this one:

Her's is not the same make, and I can't remember what make her's is, but if that is the sort of thing you want, I will ask her

theres plenty around.
all it is is a backlight and a decent high res scan FFS.
HP, Epson, Canon all make more than adequate scaners with built in neg/slide adaptors

I am planning to get a canon 8800 as this will handle negatives and slides including larger format(120/cut film) items.But if its only 35mm mounted slides or nmegatives there are several to choose from,generally the more you pay the higher the performance.

Thanks to all, am checking the one you mentioned, Ethel. Thanks again.

I am using an Epson Perfection V200 Photo Scanner & have transfered all of my 35mm slides to my computer,I have also photocopied many letters & documents with it & I find it an excellent machine. Amazon are selling this model at the moment for �70.23.Ron.
