Digitising Old Negatives - Advice Needed

Post by Geoffw » 08 Feb 2009 08:11

I've got the use of a device for digitising 35mm slides and negatives, but I have some even older larger negatives in a variety of sizes.

Any advice from someone who have experience of turning such negatives into digial files would be appreciated.

If you also have access to a flat bed scanner with a negative attachment, it's normally possible to use that with out the holder.

My flatbed scanner does not have such a facility. I've heard of it so I must take a look around.

Thanks, Jane for point it out to me.
