<p>So many fantastic replies and they are all very much appreciated.<br> I will have to sift through them and figure things out, however I think I'll lean towards getting a lens and just taking pictures of the slides and use the flatbed as my scanner.<br> Although a dedicated scanner as such for the negs seems decent enough.<br> http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LU0XO3O?psc=<br> or<br> http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ICOB78K?psc=1</p> <p>If I were to go the the lens route, from the quick reading I've done, I wouldn't need an extender, would I? <br> Or would I need it only for the 55mm Nikkor?</p> <p> </p>

<p>I'd like to scan all my negs and slides from years ago, however, the scanner that I'm looking at Epson V600 says that any neg/slide scan will put out an image roughly around 8x11 or something to that effect.<br> http://www.imaging-resource.com/SCAN/V600/V600.HTM</p> <p>However, I'd like to have the option later sometime to print them at much larger sizes.<br> What would any of you in the know recommend scanner wise? <br> Or should I go to a local scanning shop, which of course would be quite costly as I have tons of negs/slides to scan.</p> <p>Then there's the option of using my camera to take pictures of the slides and reproduce them that way.<br> <br />Has anyone done this themselves? http://www.scantips.com/es-1.html</p> <p>Regardless any and all input would be very appreciated, thanks so much.</p>
