Found some 35 MM slides that I had thought were lost but are not.
Want to convert these 35MM slides to digital format, but my limited research produces nothing but a can of worms trying to make any sense about the hardware. Does anybody have any experience with one of these gadgets and if so, any suggestions? Lew |

I use memor-ease plus. 35 mm film and slide converter. Had it for
years, I'm sure there's newer stuff out there. but it does the job with no problems. On 8/2/2015 11:19 PM, Lew Hodgett wrote: Found some 35 MM slides that I had thought were lost but are not.

Memor-ease Plus is rated 9th of 10 (right side of page has the top ten). http://slide-to-digital-image-conver...st-review.html If the memor-ease plus works that well, probably worth the $110+. I didn't search for prices of the other brands. Sonny |

Yes, I have an Epson Perfection Scanner, and they do have a slide tray for
scanning slides and converting them to files. John "Leon" wrote in message ... On 8/2/2015 10:19 PM, Lew Hodgett wrote: Found some 35 MM slides that I had thought were lost but are not.

Available from Amazon, does both slides and negatives; converts the negatives to a positive image in the process. Around $100. depending on the model. New models even do a wide variety of formats, not just 35mm. Stand alone; uses an SD card which you can then connect to your machine. Works very well. |

You should be able to find it for a lot less than $100.

In my view bottom posting is a waste of time an an archaic holdover..
That said, Yes, mine was around $30.00. If you weren't such an ass I'd give you the link. :} On 8/3/2015 5:41 PM, Mike Marlow wrote: geoff wrote: You should be able to find it for a lot less than $100. Top posting is bad, but beyond that, you might be right, however the very quick and non-exhaustive search that I did, only revealed reliable items in the $100-$150 range. Did you find something better, or are you just guessing? |

The HP scanner I had used a holder with a light in it to flood light
towards the scanner. It worked nicely. Half a dozen in a sitting. The option plugs into the back of the printer using a DIN connector. Good luck. I was helping a friend to rip cassette tapes to CD. That used an import 'walkman' like box with a USB and killer software. Might be small one at a time boxes now for this. Check Amazon they use a wide net. Then Egg and .....

The problem is there's this one Elton John lyric that I keep getting wrong when singing along with the mp3. One word has been missing (a skip) from the vinyl copy since I was a teenager. I fixed it on the mp3 but now I keep singing it like my brain was trained to a few decades ago. :-O |

Glad to hear it all worked out well Lew - and I certainly get the 6pt/old eyes thing! Also good to get the feedback on useful things that may be outside of our woodworking interests. -- -Mike- |

And I'm with you about 6-pt type. Since I'm into model railroading, I keep an Optivisor handy when first reading printed manuals. Too, a lot of product manuals are online now, and finding the ones you need and saving copies of them is well worth the time and effort. Matt |
