I saw this on Kottke (http://www.kottke.org/tag/scancafe) and was wondering if anyone used this scanning service? Apparently you send them your negatives/slides and they ship it to India where they scan them at 3000 dpi. They work with slides/color & bw in a few formats (35mm, 220, 120, 126, 127 and even 110). You can pick & choose which ones to keep and then they send you a disk along with your negatives and you do not have to pay for the ones you don't want to keep. Prices seem reasonable but the 7-8 week wait would be killer for me. They are a local (Bay Area) company/website.

I would use this service if I had hundreds of negs that need digitizing as it is time consuming.

Here's a review of the service: http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/001973.php

ps..I'm not affiliated with them in anyway as I just thought I'd share :).

John, I saw there ad in Pop Photo. I am tempted to use them for my old family pictures. You do have to purchase at least 50% of what you send in.
