Thanks for your comments. I use the Epson V500 that I just recently got refurbished from the Epson site. Very easy to use and takes about 5 minutes for 4 slides. These were all done on full auto. The thing will even do photo restoration. I don't think you can beat the price, $99.00 I have done about 1500 slides so far and around another 7000-8000 to go. The scanner came with a copy of Elements 9! I have had a lot of fun so far as I can remember taking a lot of the shots.
I looked into sending slides out for scanning at .14 cents each so in my mind the thing has paid for itself already.

Those came out really nice. My Dad scanned all his old slides, about 100,000 it seems like, and he's spent his recent retirement removing dust specks in Picasa. I think he should get his old job back and hire someone else to do it!

Thank you mam. I really like 4 as well. I selected that one for the same reason you like it. Thanks again!

Don't think he wants his old job back. It is quite a lot of fun scanning the slides. Many times while scanning I can reflect back to the time I took the shot. Dust removal can be a real issue. I normally blow the slides off with a rocket blower, scan them if a little dust still remains so what they are only going to be filed anyway. Then if I would like to do something further with a scanned slide then I will take care of dust then. My scanner will do dust removal (somehow) , but it is really slow, but does a good job. Thanks for your comments and taking time to look.

I have the same machine and love it. Nice work on these photos. I really enjoy going back and re- visiting the ancient days of film. lol

Thanks Irrigator. Many times while scanning I can recall the time I took the shot. It has also got me thinking that I must have had a much better keep rate than I do with this digital stuff. I have only scanned full auto so far. Have you gotten into the guts of the system with your machine? Even if there was a decent manual to be had I would still be at a loss. I do much better working with a tutor so to speak. I think I was a better photographer with the film. I processed all my own slide except for the Kodachromes. Had my own dark room and could be lost in there for hours on end.
