It has nothing to do with Lightroom or Adobe. I hope it is acceptable to post this in the Lounge.
Can anyone recommend a good, inexpensive scanner to digitize both film negatives and 35 mm slides?
Overwhelmingly it will be film negatives that I will be scanning. Probably I have 100 or so slides. I am guessing there will be a thousand or slightly more negatives. That will be, again roughly guessing, divided evenly between 35 mm and 2 1/4.
And I know there are on-line labs available to do this. But I am retired and my time is worth nothing. My wife hopes that I do this so it keeps me occupied for a while. Doing a very cursory web search Epson's name seem to come up a lot in scanners, especially the "Perfection" series. Are they the standard? And this is a one time use type thing so I don't want to spend a lot, a couple hundred at most, if that's possible. I certainly don't need the "feeder" that I see listed that drives up the price. I will use it for the negs I have and then store it in a closet somewhere for years.
