Converting negatives to digital

[rahudman]

Hi guys,

While I wait for some cash to get my d70 (looks like it will be mid year now), thought I might get a bunch of my old film negatives converted to digtal.

The camera I used was VERY basic, a point and shoot camera. Something to slip inside my snowboarding jacket each season. Surprisingly there are a number of really nice shot.

What are your suggestions I don't have any scanning equipment myself. Where should I go to do it I'm in Brisbane at the moment.

Cheers....

Why dont you save your cash for your main objective (D70) then after you do that worry about a buying a scanner or scanning your negatives?

Not a bad idea. But isn't there somewhere/way to take, say twenty, negative and them put to cd or something??

If you want negatives or slides scanned then I would head down to a Fuji Frontier lab. They can do it there for you no probs

Many scanners can now do this, but it's often an arduous process, especially if the scanner (low-end) only lets you do one at a time.

Focus on your prime objective: getting drun^h^h^h^h your D70.
