Re: [OT] Slide scanner




If  anyone has / gets a scanner with APS capability I would be=20=20
interested in borrowing it (for cash) for a week of aps scanning. (If=20=20
it can do a roll unattended)
Or does anyone know a cheap aps scanning service as I've got loads
and=20=20
it would be good to get all old photos on computer.

Thanks,

Martin
