As you’ve noticed if you’ve recently read my blog (both of you…you know who you are), you’ll know I recently purchased a new film scanner. It’s a PrimeFilm XA and you can find examples of my scanning 35mm negatives in recent posts.
Well…today I was attempting to clean up a little, as well as find a couple of old cameras I knew to be around, and discovered a box of slides. Yes, those good old slides you’d need a carousel projector for back in the day.
These are slides taken by my father, most likely in Borneo and other parts of Asia when I was a child between the ages of four and six.
Turns out my scanner can do slides. Turns out they aren’t all ruined, even after fifty plus years. Go figure.
I’m not quite sure what to say about all this…other than, I’ll be scanning a lot of slides in the future. Wow.
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
