I'm using a slide coppier and a negative holder that I've cut and shut to fit, then reverse the image in photoshop.

That was one of the 1st images I got, It's not cropped, I left it showing the film at the top. It's so much quicker than using a scanner.

Here's the setup

I now have quite a good solution, I now take a picture of the neg with an old canon G5, reverse it in Photoshop and it works quite well, I'll put the results up if anyone's interested.

I thought there may have been a way to scan the negs onto one file to view as positive, like the old proof sheets (36 to a page) , I have several thousand to look through. To do one at at time with a dslr and slide adaptor would take forever.

On Asdas web site the cost is £34 for 50 negs upto £350 for a 1000? My flatbeds won't convert the scans, my Nikon film scanner could take an hour to do a dozen files!

I'm not fussed on the quality just looking for a quick easy way to view in colour to pick the ones for a film scanner.

Is there an easy way I can scan 100s of colour negative strips on a flatbed scanner, and then save and view as positive? (I have an old version of Photoshop 8)

I have a FD200 f2.8 I may sell, wondered what the market would be like.

Did I see canon have a new body out that will take the older FD lenses as well as EF & EF/s? Don't think it was an SLR but something smaller. Tightfart.com

That's the sort of thing I'm Looking for, thanks. £125 for the 3tb looks good value

Is wireless that all the devices in the house can use? I'd like to be able to store photos films and music on a wireless drive and be able to watch on the ipad & tv etc. if so please point me in the right direction.

Anybody know what they let you take in camera wise to the festivals? All I could find was no proffesional photography equipment allowed. So would a SLR and 28-135 be ok?
