Try a local camera shop that does developing, that can probably scan them very quickly and the cost would be less than buying a scanner. That just depends on how many you want to scan. Another way is set up your projector, project the slides on a a white wall and with your camera take a shot of each slide.

Planned obsolescence vs. expected product life.
Just by looking at the chart you included you have the shutter count data on the Nikon model. The data suggests that 7 of 100 shutters will fail at 100,000 to 150,000 shots, or 93% will still be operating correctly. I have about 60k shots on my four year old 5d mkii. Data for my camera is similar. That means at my current pace I can anticipate four to six more years of reliable service. As I approach that threshold I will need to make a choice, refurbish my current equipment or replace it.
In the 1950’s and 1960’s technology rolled over at a pace of ever seven to twelve years. Look at how long “Dial Telephones” were around, only to be replaced by “Touch Tone” phones. The TT’s were around until the mid 90’s. Now people have adapted to the new technology and don’t even have land lines.
Today technology rolls over every year or so! It’s a new millennium and there will be early adapters, then the general public adapts and finally the late adapters will gradually catch up. And the cycle starts all over again.
In summary, we all have the freedom to choose how we pursue our own photography. Older, traditional methods and equipment, or newer technology. It’s up to us to choose based on our individual criteria..
And you picked him up without hesitation! Grandchildren are a blessing.
Grandchildren are a real blessing. He looks like a beautiful and sweet little boy.
Have lived in Bucks County for many years. Beautiful place, beautiful shot!
He is. Only one small bag and a simple carry on.
Nature in your own back yard, can’ Beat it! Nice shots.
The cause is could be the warm air trapped between the filter and the lense. Once the air between the filter and the lense cools to the ambient, does the problem go away? I’ve shot hockey from the bench before and it is cold there. I am usually there during warm-ups (sic), so my equipment does have time to acclimate to the environment.
Beautiful shot! Thank you for sharing.
I use a tilt head w/quick release plate. I've done shots over the canyon rim at 200mm with success. Works really well shooting sports car racing. Makes it a dream to pan the moving cars.
