35mm Slide Scanner - Beyond Tiki

Most of what I shoot now is digital. I've got a lot of 35mm slides and I wanted to convert some of them to digital. I tried the scanner route and for me personally I didn't like the results. I bought a special lens for my Honeywell Pentax SLR that's used to duplicate slides. I shoot the slides on film and then send the film to what used to be Ofoto, now Kodak, and they develop the film, digitize the image, and return the negatives. I liked that better than using the scanner. I don't think my scanner is a slouch, HP Scanjet 5370C, but the results from having it done by Kodak for me were better and easier. I'm showing 2 pictures I took in Costa Rica in 1985 that were 35mm slides that I digitized with the method described. [ Edited by: khan_tiki_mon 2007-02-25 11:19 ]
