I just brought back a box of a few thousand slides from my dad's barn. There's all kinds of stuff from my childhood, including about 10 shots from an early eruption of Mt. St. Helens, about 2 months before the big one. Anyway, what I need now is a slide scanner so I can make digital copies and share with family. The main purpose is screen viewing, although some might get printed out to 8x10 or so.
Do any of you have experience with slide scanners? Anything I should look at or stay away from? Advice on how much resolution I should look for? Since it's such a big collection, speed would be nice, as would good file management. I'm looking for a middle of the road solution, neither rock-bottom nor gold-plated.
Thank you!
