Hi. I would like to scan old family photo negatives. I have the photos
themselves, but a lot of them are faded, creased, etc. I also have
negatives for a lot of them, too, so was thinking of scanning the film
negatives so I could get a pristine/new electronic file and print. The
thing is, I don't know what sizes the films are. The photos date from
the 1920's, up thru present day. A lot of the scanners I see specify
"35mm", and I'm sure some of the film is not that size, but I don't
know what size they are. I also don't know what product descriptions
mean when they say "medium size" format, etc. Help!
Should I start off by taking a variety of the negs in to a camera shop
and ask them what size the films are? Or are there some affordable
scanners out there that are very flexible as to the size of film you
can scan (i.e. any size)?
