Have him to digitize the negatives with my Kaiser Slide Duplicator in use - class thing, insert just works, negative strips in place. Is not that cheap for a piece of plastic but it works very well, insofar as it is already worth it. Had a homemade version tasted of cardboard, but that's a fumble and very inefficient. A note: Color Negative convert so that it is not an easy task have pretty colors and does not work without good image editing program. I shoot in RAW and got quite a chore to find out how best hinkriegt the color balance in Lightroom. NOTE: White balance alone is not enough, you have to play separately with the individual curves in the color channels. Meanwhile ichs but under control. Do not know if that would be easier with a scanner?
