my dad has been a photographer/artist for years and most of his pictures are on slides. he's found it's really expensive to get them converted to prints but has heard of this Slide Scanner but can't seem to find one or anything about it.

i'm looking for him now and have found this Veho film and slide converter and the plustek opticfilm. does anyone know anything about these or can recommend something else?

I have used this slide copier many times. While it is somewhat slow to copy many slides, I found it VERY useful. The old slides I had are now digitized AND I was able to do post processing..dust removal, saturation, sharpening etc...
