This might be a tad boring after post 42987.
I have just completed scanning 5250 transparencies to digital format and it took almost 6 months to the day. This spans around 40 years of photography. At one stage in our lives we had over 10,000 trannies, but have culled them severely over the years.
It was like travelling the world again, recalling all the
places we have visited at one time or another.
The scanner scans 4 transparencies at a time and made its own set of rules as it went along. After being on all day it would state "Scanner is warming up...please wait". Thank goodness this part is over. Now I have to start on specialist subjects. I have four plastic boxes full of old trannies which are destined for the incinerator when we are allowed to burn again.
We have to change with the times. Where to next????? Hope the DVD disks last longer than 10 years.......
Cheers

Bugger! The pigeon just delivered the mail (5hrs late).
Would have loved the chance to drop in my expertise ; alas, the moment has passed.(As have our SLIDES, NEGATIVES and prints . [no trannies here, Ladies].
Termites and fungi are quite catholic in taste. All gone, eh.
(You just watch ; a highly magnetic Microwave Burst will take care of our current crop of images. hahahaha. btw. How's Gramps? bit bloomin quiet, eh.) Jeff.
