found a large briefcase filled with slides my grandpa took of people back in Siberia in the 40's - I want to get them digitized - any suggestions?
found some file reels also - anybody digitize this before?

just find a scanning place and hand ewm over. you could for out for a trannie scanner yourself, not the adapters for a flatbed though, they blow.
the reels can be done by some video-pro studios or post-prod companies.
what city / country you at?

why do the slide scanners suck?

slide scanners themselves rock, it's the attached slide scanner (a lid with a friggin lightbulb that moves) on flatbeds that blow. the resolution is never very good as it's simply a work-around option. it's ok for simple jobs or low-end stuff but if you want to get the most out of the tranny–especially an older one–you're better off with the dedicated tranny scanners.
the best ever would be to get some drum scans of 'em. you'll get top-o-the line quality which i guess is good as the images are probably important to you?
