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

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.

What is the resolution?

Does the sw cope with colour negatives?

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

Did you get a price for it?

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.

as I have boxes of slides I'd like to get on disk.

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.
