I'm slowing converting all my photography from film to digital. Over 25 years of hiking all over the US, I've got around 13,000 Kodachrome slides stored in slide archive boxes. They were taken with a pair of OM-1 and OM-3's with a series of Zuiko lenses.
I've been waiting for the technology and cost to intersect on slide scanners so I could afford to get one good enough that the scans would look like they were digitals, fast enough so I don't need 30 seconds to a minute for each, and at a cost that I can afford.
A friend of mine was discussing 3 of us going in on a really expensive scanner, high resolution, each of us use it to scan our slides, and then recoup as much of the cost as possible by reselling it someplace like eBay.
Are there any scanners that fit the features I mentioned, and what are people's experience with top quality slide images turned into digitals?
Thanks
