Recently got a film scanner, so I started digitising some old negatives from my family.
Most rolls are from the 90s, but there is a box of slides from around 1962.

First shots are from Mauritius and were shot on AGFA Vista 200.

Something has definitely been lost with the decline of film. Most vacation shots nowadays are gray overprocessed phoneslop. Rather sad.

Quite impressive uniforms.
I find it quite shocking how clean London looks compared to now on some of the other shots on this roll.
Also strange to consider that at this time the UK was roughly on par in terms of wealth with the USA.

Now starting on the box of slides.
The slides are all from what looks like a trip to Dartmouth in 1962.
I really love this photo, especially the guy with the pipe.
He's painting my Grandmother's cousin here.

These all came out with a rather blue cast, but I'm guessing that's due to my scanner using quite a neutral backlight and slide projectors being quite warm.

What kind of scanner? I want to scan all the thousands of negatives and images my parents have, before they pass. They are getting very old and I think they would appreciate it.
I’ve been looking at both cheap and expensive options, but don’t know what to get really for good quality that does not take ages.

Thanks for sharing.
>>
>>4386760
It's a Plustek 8200i, I got it for 250 euro second hand. I'm pretty pleased with it honestly.
Not sure how many rolls you need to digitise, but I'd be aware that it takes me about an hour per roll so if you've got a lot of negatives it'd be a longer term project for sure.
I'm sure your parents would definitely appreciate it though, and I also think it's a nice thing to have for yourself. I feel closer to my family having done these.

Yepp, that would take ages. I do appreciate the quality your scans shows, but I guess I need something in between quality and speed.
>>
>>4386815
I'm converting to positive in negative lab pro, and so scanning the frames as RAW positives in the scanning software, so you could potentially save on time by scanning at a lower DPI and inverting them in the software included with the scanner.
Other than that the only faster option I know of is DSLR scanning, which can be more or less expensive depending on how you do it.

20, 21, 25, 32, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 45, 48, 54 are the best ones imo. Some compositional flops but that's not something worthy of judgement from casual holiday pics obviously - and honestly most of these are better pics than what most people would take today. Either someone in your family has an eye for photography, or film just made everyone a lot more considerate of composition and taking shots that are actually worth taking as opposed to random garbage
