Kodak Slide Scanner

I bought one of these over the weekend. It just arrived Tuesday night.

I do have a lot of color film negatives, but this was more of an impulse buy. The original plan was to buy a cheap flatbed scanner to scan old photos, but I have a sheet feed scanner that works well enough. For photos with negatives, the quality is likely better if I scan the negatives instead of the print as the physical photo may deteriorate over time. So, I ended up buying one of these.

The first pile of negatives I looked at were from September 1999 and it contains photos from my wedding and honeymoon. Not the images I expected to see right away at 5:00 am. Anyway, the scans at 22 megapixels are decent. The negatives are slightly curved and that may cause focus issues in the scanner. I need to find a way to flatten the negatives without scratching or damaging the plastic surface.
