Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Photo scanners?

[Nathan Odle <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Are you saying you want something other than a flatbed scanner?  I'm not 
aware of anything that has an ADF-type feed for snapshot-sized prints, 
but maybe they exist. It sounds like you're describing such an animal, 
but I've got no experience in that department.

Kinko's will cost you an arm-and-a-leg to have anything scanned.

That all being said, if you still have the negatives you're probably 
best off either purchasing a film scanner or sending them out somewhere 
to have them scanned.  Quality will be higher and they scan quickly.
