35 mm film scanner
Am considering on getting a 35 mm film scanner, I have many 35 mm negatives that were taken over the years of mainly my antler handle folders.
Any recomendations would be appreciated. Also, had a darkroom and finally sold it all for peanuts, digital photography was in. Now I miss the capability of enlarging a 35MM negative and drawing from it on white paper for illustration. Now am bidding on Ebay for a enlarger, lesson, never get rid of all your stuff.

Will do Coop, It's a Vivitar, not top dollar brand but should work fine if I get the auction.
Along with the photo stuff I sold was a old large Kodak, lots of cast iron, 5 X 7 enlarger that had a rack and pinion cam feature that kept it in focus as the lens bellows assembly was raised and lowered. __________________ Happy Hammering, wear safety glasses.

Coop, got the enlarger for $25, shipping about $19, it will be a welcome tool back.
B, I was curious about film scanning services, googled 35mm film scanning and many sites popped up, here is one. Read some about film scanning on the internet, one article said a flatbed scanner could be used. Tried it with a Microtek at 4000 dpi. I doubt that the scanner is capable of 4000 dpi, anyway the file size was 120MB scanning a strip of four black and white 35 mm negatives. Wow, film scanning would eat up memory in a hurry. I am going to do a lot of research before thinking about buying a scanner. The prices on the website below seem reasonable when facing all the story problems that a film scanner may bring. I am going to have some film scanned with them as a test. http://www.digmypics.com/OE/Pricing.aspx __________________ Happy Hammering, wear safety glasses.

We bought the Epson 4490 Photo flatbed scanner several years ago. We were very happy with the preformance and the quality of the scanned negs. Yes,it does take a lot of memory to do any photo editing and you need to weigh the cost of time,etc. link to scanner review.

I was going to do some test film scans with
http://www.digmypics.com/OE/Pricing.aspx but was so impressed with their website and information sent the whole batch of 130, 35 mm b/w film images off to them. These are for a rewrite of a publication which may go out of print. I am trying a ebook/pdf publication, first time and learning a lot. If by chanch it goes South, I have original prints which I was scanning for the publication. Sometimes you just gotta try something new. __________________ Happy Hammering, wear safety glasses.
