Did all mine years ago. 35mm and slides. Took along time to do. I used an Epson scanner. I still have it.

Funny that people who has a slide projector wants to view their photos on a tiny computer screen. Well. I do things the old way, I bought a slide protector and view my pictures on my wall at “wall size “ can’t get any better than that! Analogue is awesome❤

[@wavemaker54]

I agree. But I like having a digital backup. I’ll probably just mail my favorites to a professional. I already have a scanner but not the time. One day.

Analog is expensive, especially when that projector bulb burns out.

Very cool! One more way is, if you have a projector, screen, and camera on a tri-pod. You can then photograph them digitally that way.

I agree. I recently made a video in which I show how to scan all kinds of things and I talk about how use a camera and a tri-pod is a great way to get digital images of all kinds of things. =)

Another way is to use a camera and bellows with slide duplicator attachment.

Are the Nikon D850 & D780 the only cameras that have the “digitizer “ feature?

[@Robert08010]

What about when slide rules ruled?

[@Flip495]
