I bought a Nikon scanner made for scanning just negatives and slides, and digitized over 4,000 pictures that I had not seen for years.

Some of the film was in great condition, and some was horribly degraded, and even after a lot of photoshopping, those pics are so-so at best. But the memories are now digital - and backed up all over the place.

Caveat : it's a VERY slow process - bit worth the time and expense, IMO.
