Nice. Faded slides really are difficult to scan or copy. Sometimes you can improve the balance of color, contrast, and saturation, but you can’t put back what’s gone.
Most B&W negs are silver metal embedded in a gelatin emulsion on plastic film. If they were processed in fresh chemistry, fixed properly, and washed thoroughly, they’re good for decades. I have a few old negs from the early 1930s and WWII era that scan or copy beautifully.

I have late 1800's negatives from my family and hundreds up to about 1914.

Wow! You can scan and invert the curves in software, then bend them to suit! You can get far more from them now, than in a wet darkroom.

Yes I know.
Some are crappy exposure and I scan them and improve them considerably. Another advantage of the scanner is the removal of dust. I have no idea how that could be done with a camera.
Here is my grandfather ca 1909 in Mexico. The pistol he is packing is the same pistol I posted here earlier with the story behind it.

Digital Ice is great stuff. We had it on Kodak/Bremson HR500+ scanners in the lab I worked for. It nearly eliminated spotting. If it were available as a plug-in for Lightroom, I’d pay $100 for it.

I appreciate all the information you have posted on this subject. I have many slides from back in the 50's that I would love to digitize. I also have some 16mm and super8 films I would like to convert. Do you know of a good system for that. I have been using a service through Costco, but am interested in doing it myself.
Also, do you know of a system to digitize older film (photo) formats. Some photos were taken on a Kodak bellows camera made in 1917. The negatives are about 3x5 in.
I had an Epson Perfection 1650 photo scanner I was using with my Windows XP computer. Since the computer crashed, the Epson no longer has software that runs on Windows 10 that is on my newer computer.

An all in one printer's scanner won't work. It takes a light source from the other side of the slide. But most of you knew that. Many excellent suggestions. I got one, (a UMAX) many years ago which had a large slide and negative area that I can (and have) process many slides at one time or 2.25x3.25 negatives and larger. Of course it came with software to process the negatives, Color or BW and ran on my Windows 98 and XP computers. Oldie but goodie.

All my older negs are those odd sizes. Epson V750 does up to 8X10.
If there is not a holder for the odd sizes like you and I have I use the 4x5 mask and cut a template for the odd size to fit into it and start scanning.
Works perfectly.
