I have some old Kodachrome slides I would like to transfer to computer disk. Does anyone know where I can get this done in Bangkok???? I only have about 25 slides I would like to transfer so it is hardly worth purchasing my own machine.

Thanks for you help

Thanks Vulcan :jap:

I remember checking this out some years ago and finding that it's cheaper to buy your own scanner and do it yourself.

Did just that, because I have tons of old negatives/slides in Switzerland -- too heavy to transport and potentially unsafe to store here (humidity...). I went for a Canon 9000F, which is a flat-bed scanner with a shine-thru LED scanning facility. Absolutely brilliant, and wasn't too expensive either (~7000 baht there). Don't know if it's available in Thailand.

I went for a Canon 9000F,

What is the resolution?

Does the sw cope with colour negatives?

The resolution is 9600x9600 DPI, and yes, it does color negatives. See: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/scanners/film_negative_scanners/canoscan_9000f

The 9000F is available here - just spoken to Thomas at the Thai Visa "IT Store" : HERE

Just looked up their site and is not shown.

Did you get a price for it?

Thanks for the info on the Canon scanner, might invest in one as I have boxes of slides I'd like to get on disk.

Cheers. :jap:

Thanks also.

I will have to look how many old slides I have.

Here's a good site plus it gives tips for general use : HERE

That link is bad, can you please check and repost.

Sorry about that - not sure what went wrong - please try this or paste into your browser : http://www.imaging-r...S9000/9000F.HTM

That is neat, even handling 120 film.

Vulcan -

I finally got my slides to IQ labs. I dropped them off on Weds and picked them up this morning. When I dropped off the 97 slides I asked if they could clean them before scanning them as they were a mess. The lady said that they really didn't do that. The charge was 15 Baht per slide plus charge for the disk, tax etc.... It came out to 17 Baht per slide when all said and done.

I am very happy with their work. When I had dropped off the slides I had them rubber banded in seven different groups. The slides came back exactly as I dropped them off except that they had all been cleaned. The disk had seven different files on it one for each group of slides. The file format on the disk was Tiff at 5-6 Meg per picture. Every slide was scanned perfectly; writing in signs was facing the right way so they were not scanned backwards. Overall a quality shop. They do good work and fast.

Thank you for the recommendation.

Thanks to all contributers.

Cheers. :jap:

Me too therefore question is speed per scan and can more than 1 slide be preloaded or is it a one by one feed, which is cumbersome.

With the CanonScan 9000F, there's a "rail"/plastic guide which holds 4 framed slides at a time (scanned in one go, but producing 4 individual files). If you have 35mm strips, it's 12 at a time.
