The fact it does both slides and negatives is very interesting...:thumbs

I will be able to copy all my slides from 20 years ago, that I have never looked at since, and convert them to digital and store on my computer or say onto DVD and never look at them again for another 20 years.:doh

To be honest, I do have quite a collection of slides from my old instamatic camera. Pre 35mm I think they used a cartridge called a 126.

Now if I can only remember if they were colour or possibly sepia...:lol

:doh:doh

I though I was the only club member that posted about Aldi.:augie

126 don't usually fit too well in the cheapo scanners, either use a decent dedicated scanner (nikon, canon, etc.) that has the ability to tightly hold any width of film smaller than 35mm or look at using a high end flatbed film scanner, but even these often have focus issues as the lens has a tiny depth of field.

If you were a bit nearer Rustic I'd be happy to lend you my Epson 4490, would do the job.
