[Woodworkers] OT Slide scanners

[Clint Warren]

That is a great idea. If you were going to spend $200 on a scanner and you value your time you might be money ahead. Guess the bad part is having to trust someone with your slides.

On a similar topic, we bought a small scanner for photos. I was amazed how well it works for how little it cost (although it has nearly doubled in price since then).
Feed the picture in and the jpeg gets saved to an SD card.  <No affiliation, just happy customer>

Consider a slide scanning service like Costco or Walmart. Take in a few to see how the quality is. Scanning them yourself is a full-time project.

There are other services online.

I have a ton of slides that I would like to scan and save electronically.  Off and on I search the subject but it seems like you can get everything from inexpensive to several hundred, even a thousand dollars.  From there it gets all complicated in resolution and speed.  I would rather not have to feed one slide at a time.  I’ve talked to a few fellows I know that are in the same position and they are telling me that they have heard of scanners that are both reasonably priced and they work well but also must be Unicorns because they cannot find them.  The last time I looked I found a couple that were reasonably priced and the initial reviews were good but the more I read the worse the reviews got.
So any experience here?  Does anyone have one they can recommend?  Any other thoughts?
As for price range, that is complicated.  I see this as a onetime use thing, once I have all my slides scanned will I ever need it again?  But it also is technology and I’m sure that there is a point of getting what you paid for.  So initially $200.00?  Maybe as much as $300.00??  Convince me I need to spend just a little more??

Thanks
