Thanks!

    I've only heard of them through the Scott Bourne website.

    Scan Cafe does slides, by hand, for $.29 for 35mm.

    David,

    This doesn't belong in the Grad School forum, so I moved it to For Hire.

    Thanks! Didn't mean for it to get in the wrong place. Doesn't make sense to me either!

    We dont advertise!

    We have scanned for several diff large projects and a few photographers as well. We have a drum scanner and!!!!!!!!!

    Our former employee Tom Dietrich, developed a method that we use here, for the majority of our scans that we dont need to drum scan, we call it Snapscaning!

    Basically we use a Canon 1dsM3 mounted on a copy table, lay the original in a carrier and click the shutter for a sharp 47meg RAW file. For this Tom Dietrich charges between $2 and $4 dollars depending upon a few variables. If you are really interested in setting up your own snap scanner or having Tom scan for you please email tom@muenchphotography.com

    I am not in on this to make money, just helping out!
