[X4U] Scanning Negatives

[Richard Gilmore]

There are neg scanners with auto feed attachments but they generally only
work if the negs are not cut. If they are (which I'm assuming?) then it's
more or less a manual process, which can be very time consuming. We have a
Nikon LS2000 which makes great scans but it is slow. But £2.50 for 40
scans(?) sounds like a great price. Prices in Canada where I am run from a
$1 per meg at one place to $5 for one neg scan. If you have a lot to scan
it's cheaper to buy your own scanner. A decent neg scanner runs about
$1500-$3000 CAD.
