scanner hire?

[steil]

I've a few hundred 35mm SLR type negatives which I'm told can be scanned in for viewing/emailing etc.

Does anyone know if a scanner to do this can be hired - I'm not sure I really need to buy something that'll be used only once & I'd rather use some quality gear for the pics.


many thanks,

I'm in a similar situation. I reckon the best bet is to buy a second hand one from Fleabay, then sell it once you've finished. Prices don't seem to fluctuate too much and I doubt it would cost any more than hiring a scanner. However, if you find otherwise ...

You can do it with a flatbed scanner and the funny mirror adapter thingy, but the results on mine (good scanner,a few years old now) were appalling, as if I'd overexposed them.
You might want to wander round a few proper (i.e. not Jessops) camera shops, see if they know anyone who'll do a proper job for not a huge amount of money.
