Might be interested in the Coolscan, anymore info? condition, photos, price ???
Thanks

Thanks for another option

I appreciate the offer, thank you

[quote=fetzler]I would take the above with a huge grain of salt.

Thanks for the alternative methods

[quote=MrPhotog]For most people it isn’t advisable. They will make a copy of this and make new prints from that copy.

Thank you, a lot to digest, but i appreciate the info

Yup ... 1950 ish I think

The condition is good, just foxing(?) which I believe is a fungus. Was all over the mat also. When you search the web you mainly get results for restoration companies.
I figured someone on here might have some experience

If this is not the appropriate forum please let me know, I didn't see one that looked appropriate.

I picked up an old black and white photo, don't think it's particularly valuable but I like it. It came in a frame and appeared to have been professionally mounted/framed. Simple frame, matted and the photo appears to be mounted to a thin fiber board backing of some kind. Brown paper enclosing the rear of the frame.
All the matting and fiber board is mottled with mold? fungus? not really sure what and it is also on the white border of the photo.
If anyone has any experience with handling old photos such as this I would appreciate any advice as far as removing it from the backing, what the mottling is and how I might clean/prevent it or if any of that is advisable at all.
Attached are a few photos to illustrate the condition
Thanks in advance for any assistance

PM sent 2 days ago ... No longer available ??

Is this only a slide scanner, no film ??

On Android you may have to change to "File Transfer"
Plug the phone into your computer, drop down the notification shade, tap "Charging This Device via USB", Then "Tap for More Options". Select "File Transfer"
The phone will now appear as a device in Windows Explorer on "This PC" just like all your other drives.
Open the phone, navigate to "DCIM", copy what you wish over to a folder on your PC

This is from a Pixel 3 running Android 12 but should be similiar on any Android device. If your not seeing the phone in Windows Explorer when it's plugged in to the PC it probably needs to be changed from "Charging" to "File Transfer".
You could probably search for "File Transfer" in your settings once your plugged in if your phone is different.
Hope that was helpful

depending on the phone you could probably use a voice command

Any photos of the actual lens ??

Stumbled across 2 rolls of old 120 film while going through my fathers things. I am assuming they were exposed but not developed ??? (Both are rolled and taped with the "exposed" tape). I assume they were not developed since it seems unlikely the negatives would be returned on the roll like this. They would most likely date back to the 1970's and I would be very curious to see what is on them.
I would be very interested in any information that anyone could provide on these as well as suggestions for where I might send them for processing.
1 is a Kodak E-Chrome X which is on a metal spool, the other is Kodak Tri-X Pan which is on a plastic spool.

Thanks in advance for any information
