| ->> This might've been touched upon in other forums, but I only saw a few posts. So I will ask the question again. A friend of mine wants to get a lot negatives scanned into digital images and he wants it fairly quickly and of course as cheaply as possible. Anyone have any suggestions? |

| ->> Willis, I have a coolscan 9000 sitting next to me. Send me a PM with the particulars and I can send a quote. Generally, I can set it up and babysit it as long as there are not 500 of them that need tweaking on every frame. |

| ->> I apologize for not being more clear. He wants to send them away to a third party to have them scanned, not do it himself. Scott, the link that you posted I saw earlier, but only gave 1 other company. I just thought some folks might know of more. |

| ->> I just pulled 700 or so negatives and all my checking around came back to the same place mentioned before, ScanCafe. Hopefully they live up to what was found as will be mailing them about 8 years of my life and start of this adventure. However, takes 4-6 weeks - not so quick. |

| ->> Willis, Richard was offering to BE that third party and asked that you send him the particulars (how many to be scanned, desired turnaround time, etc) for a quote. |
