great click, always wanted to play with 35mm!

Nice sentiment and cool shot! I think I need to get one of those converters for all the negatives and slides I have around! Does it create a decent sized file from the originals?

It’s OK. It does better for black-and-white than it does for color. And it works better on negative film that it does for slides. The pictures come out to be something like 5400 pixels on the long side, Usually weighing in somewhere between 2 and 4 MB. Honestly, though, I’m considering switching to something like an Epson V600 scanner.

I still have my Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 which was great for slides and negatives. However, it is nothing more than a doorstop these days because it’s a firewire connection, and the technology doesn’t work with my computer anymore!!

Oh that sucks. The ICE technology in those Coolscan scanners are amazing, too. Way better than the "converter" I'm using.

At first I thought it was all about the plug and the connection, but nope!!!!

Just had a thought! I still have my old computer lying around. I could use it just for scanning stuff!!!!

Update! My last computer didn't have a firewire port either. It was the computer before that - and it is dead! However, there is hope yet! My husband's computer has a firewire port!

Beautiful message and great capture.

Great quote, you did a great job capturing the board this way.
