I inherited a large slide collection from my father, who passed away in 2005. Slides in boxes, in carousels, and a projector even. I have moving company boxes full of them.
I have never opened any of them.
Good scanning project when you retire?
It also helps that she's gorgeous!

Thank you for all your responses. They are very helpful. I will rent the Z7ii and see where that takes me!
Let us know what you conclude after renting and it.
They are down here in Georgia, hiding! Saw this one this morning.
Before you buy more glass, make sure you are maximizing what you have with Topaz software, DeNoise and Sharpening. Maybe that's what she is doing?

Any issues printing with the new version??
Not for me, yet. Did you have problems?
It's pure scam. The puppy probably doesn't exist.
I don't understand the suggestions and replies you got. I have scanned, and continue to scan as time permits, a lifetime of 35mm slides. So far, I've scanned about 500 rolls. I have about 200 rolls to go, but I'm not in a great hurry. With the equipment I have, it's easy and the results can be amazingly good, particularly with newer slides taken on Fujichrome films.
I use a Nikon Supercoolscan 5000 ED and a Nikon SF-210 slide feeder, with Vuescan software. (Nikon software is no longer supported, but Vuescan is much better anyway.)
Right now, there are dozens of these scanners for sale on eBay, along with a few slide feeders (very necessary unless you want to hand feed the slides four at a time). It seems that for $2 grand or so, you can get the stuff needed
I get a box or two of 36 exposure slides out of the closet, load 50 or 60 slides, press the 'on' button, and go to bed for the night. The next day, I download the scans into Lightroom and add them to the catalog.
If I ever finish, I'll sell the scanner and feeder on eBay if I'm so inclined.
I'm making the same trip in a few days. Flying to Denver. Cannot manage my usual DSLR's (I'm really old), so I am opting for a Nikon D40X, small, lightweight, fantastic resolution. Nikkor 18-140 mm for sure, maybe some other faster lenses, and maybe a 70-300 mm.. No laptop! Trying a Ravpower hub, but I'm not delighted with the fact it downloads files again that have already been downloaded. Maybe I can figure a way around this using my iPhone?
