Hi, There are companies that will transfer slides, photos, etc. but you will have to search for them. Try the Yellow Pages in your phone book.

Foillowing the technogy growth of the last hundred years I have a mass of black and white photos (with their negatives in some cases) coloured slides, super 8 cine film, video film etc all of which I would like to convert to digital and store on my computer. This was brought home to me yesterday when I recovered the cine projector from the archival attic to run through some excellent super 8 cine of life at sea in the good ship Andromeda prior to the reunion in Torquay this weekend. Hardly had I started when the film slowed down and the heat from the lamp quickly burnt a hole in that frame. A quick examination revealed that the rubber band driving the mechanism had decided to give up the ghost after nearly forty years of neglect! So I now have 3000ft of cine that will never be seen again! OK I have done a quick search on the internet but only found a spare lamp so far. Is there any way of transferring slides, cine and video to digital/computer without complex and expensive kit?

Hi Mike, You can also buy a scanner, relatively cheaply, that will scan in slides and negatives, as well as prints. I have one and have been able to print (from my computer) negatives for which I have never seen the prints. (I was so cute when I was young!) Lynne - snowy Halifax.
