Sadly some of them have faded to almost nothing, but there are a bunch that are not in that bad of shape. I have the same scanner. Yay!

Luckily there are a variety of machines for slides is vast! I use a Cannon 8600F its on was on the mid end when I fist bought it. Basically you need to have a light in the hood of the scanner and if your lucky a tray that holds the film. Ill do a post on my equipment etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06555925787177935538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4884643044005003289.post-50808506059770618452011-07-16T19:03:26.207-07:002011-07-16T19:03:26.207-07:00You don't detail the process of how you clean ...You don't detail the process of how you clean and scan the negatives but it sounds time-consuming. I wanted to say that however you are doing it, I'm impressed with the result. The scanned images look clean and clear. I inherited some slides from an aunt, didn't know about scanning them, and just took them to a film store and had prints made. Now I wonder if I could have scanned them....

I too love old photography and have started collecting old photos (who knows for what reason). I am currently trying to educate myself on the different types and and how to date them so enjoyed your blog.
