Hopeful this is the correct subreddit or someone would be willing to point me in the right direction:) I have 1,000’s of old photos, slides and negatives that need to be scanned for prosperity. The task will be incredible daunting so I’d like advice on a scanner. My goals are firstly quality images as well as ease of use and workload. The images range mostly from the 1930’s-early 2000’s. I want to do the job “right” the first time and willing to pay up to $3,000ish. Please help:)
Have you looked into local photography stores for scanning services? One near me offers the service which they do onsite. I don’t know anything about it, but Scan my Photos has a package that will do about 11,000 photos for just under $1k. It really depends on if you’d rather spend money or time.
