Can anyone recommend a good way to scan my 35mm negatives to convert to digital for ease of storage? There seems to be lots of machines out there but I'm not sure what would work best. Thanks!

Epson scanners are great. Couple that with SilverFast software to drive the scanner and you'll have a winner. Just choose the scanner model that best suits your needs.

I’ll second that. I still use the Epson V500 I bought 14 years ago - works great.
