    Default 35mm Slides

    I have 2 x 35mm slides that I've inherited, they are of my birth mother so are somewhat priceless to me.
    I would like to get these copied / changed / converted ???? to a digital format
    Is this possible, and if so who or what sort of organisation would I approach to get it done?
    Thanks
    In hindsight I should have posted my Facebook status as: "I've blown the head gasket on my 1997 XR3i" rather than "I've just buggered a 14 year old escort".
    The police still haven't seen the funny side, my lap top's been confiscated and the wife has gone off to her mum's.

    Any of the pro labs can scan them.

    There are slide scanners on the market as well, but good ones like the Nikon are pricey.

    This is my DIY approach that took 3minutes to muck up:




    The slide is held in front of trace paper as a diffuser, outside on a cloudy day(no indoor or sunlight). Use the macro setting of your digital camera to make a closeup photo. I just use books to hold the camera. The croco clip makes it easy to align the slide with the camera.

    I get excellent instant results. No need to travel to the town every time I want to do something with slides. I inherited 1000's of them and I also have quite a few of my own
