Hi guys, I've recently started fiddling with photography and I want to transfer my old negatives to my computer. I've got the basic math down when it comes to changing the negatives into a full color render.

What i want to know is what scanner is best for the job of transferring my negatives in a optimal or HIGH resolution to my computer. Bases of your personal experience where can i get the most bang for my buck... My budget is around 100-170 USD. Thanks for the help guys :D.

Thanks for the reply giga. Do you own this scanner? Or have you ever used it? If so how easy is it to transfer negatives to my computer and get a color render?

Edit: Also, thanks for moving my thread to the proper place. :) .

i've just finished using a "nikon coolscan v ed" and can say that it gave excellent results, but maybe out of your price range.

thing is though, i bought mine off ebay, and they are still selling for the same price, so hopefully it wont of cost me a thing (apart from postage)...

Now that is a good scanner. I would love to have that for my films.

Thanks giga.. I spent a total of three hours reading reviews and comparing it to a CanoScan 8800F, I think this might just be the way to go, I hope i don't mess up this purchase as I live outside the US and returning items is not that easy.

    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
