It took a couple of weeks, but I would watch TV, read a book ect during the scan time. In other words it was my more or less non productive time anyway. It took that long because my scanner could only hold 6 at a time. I almost used the excuse to get a scanner that would do a full roll of 35mm at one sitting. Then I could start scanning and then go to bed. When I wake up the next morning 6 times the work would have been done. are these negs? I'm confused - so many people have good DSLR's these days yet when it comes to digitising slides they still scan when using any old slide copier would be *so* much quicker and give results as good as their wonderful dslr can take Since getting my first DSLR I have not and cannot imagine firing up the scanner for anything less than 4x5 chromes or negs mind you, as soon as I get the mask sorted and can work a good way to shoot negs and reverse/demask them, I'll be doing that by digicam too k
