Snow in Stanley Park, November 2006. |
A couple of months ago I bought a slide/film scanner that just arrived today. Trying to get the 5P-format frames that my Stereo Realist makes developed as prints was just too much of an ordeal. Taking them to an 1-hour lab was a total crap-shoot, taking the film into a lab was hideously expensive. My back-lit flatbed can do a good job with sides, but negatives never quite worked right. I think this will work out nicely.
What I got is by no means a top of the line scanner (Nikon CoolScan V) but is seems like it will be more the adequate for what I want to do with it.
