Caveat : it's a VERY slow process - bit worth the time and expense, IMO.
I have a Canon scanner that works with both 35mm and medium format film and slides. Several years ago I scanned the slides from our only long-distance bike tour (in 1981). Agree that it is a tedious process but worth it. I still have a blue million slides and negatives yet to be scanned. Thinking this will be a retirement project. Have played around with some 35mm and 6x6 slides and negatives. Amazing the resolution available with a 6x6 negative.
