Nikon makes a 35mm roll adapter. I know this because a guy with a Nikon slide/negative scanner scanned my filmstrip without damaged it. I had to then divide each frame into 2 images since each filmstrip frame is 1/2 a 35mm image frame. Took about an hour in Photoshop. Then someone with more patience than I tuned up the colors quite nicely. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Richter" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2007 10:50 AM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Slides and inconvenient media > Tom Fine wrote: >> So Mike, how were you going to put these onto DVD?
