Richard's suggestion for "scanning" 10,000 slides MacDV Digest #1829

[Ted Langdell]

This is the most practical idea I've seen so far, Richard.  An old, tested
process updated with new technology.

The cost of the camera is what, probably about what some people would pay
for a Nikon CoolScan negative scanner?

Go for it!

Ted.
