Please be sure your slides are rectangle (My equipment is built for rectangle slides and square ones will be only be scanned in the rectangle area - see photo - on on the left is too big to capture all content)
Standard scanning service gives an optical resolution image size of 3900 x 2600 approx for rectangle 35mm mounted slides.
Some films contain contaminants in the emulsion layer due to dirty chemicals as processed by photo production houses in the 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s 2000s That can be built into the film layer. I'm not going to remove any emulsion or such - I don't put any chemicals or wipe any slides. I never touch the film. Once a purchase is made- I send a "Slide Cleaning Tip Sheet" by email.
Only a gentle touch-less puff of air is used to remove any dust speckles. Anything truly stuck on the film like dirt or gum is not going to be removed with a puff of air. Please clean your slides before sending them (most in their original boxes or in plastic bags have zero dust and cleaning them might actually put more dust on it)
How to Package
Please do not send carousels, cartridges, cassettes or other holders. Only send rubber-banded together or boxed slides or plastic bagged in groups. Due to free return shipping for USA or discounted shipping for International- bulky cartridges etc add to my shipping expense- I reserve the right to say "no thanks" to cartridges.
No
No nudes, no porno, no risque, Only family friendly slides.
Yes
Art, people, places, vacations, technical, weddings, events- yes to recreational, family, work, business, commercial, historic, etc slides. Only PG rated type slides please.
I combine shipping with my other listings and also for multiple purchases.
If you need more assistance - no problem send a message or phone. I do my best to come to the phone when it rings- sometimes I cannot answer the phone as I work processing film too and cannot always stop what I am doing- or risk ruining what I'm working on. I am a one-man-shop and do-it-all.
Sincerely,

How to Figure the Number of Slides
Standard Carousel contains 80 slides
High-Capacity Carousel contains 140 slides
Most small plastic or cardboard boxes contain
24 slides (count them as some have extras or short)
36 slides (count them as some have extras or short)
If you are careful loading and shooting your film, you can sometimes get an extra shot or two out of a roll. So boxes sometimes contain more slides than expected.
Example
3 x small cardboard boxes (24 x 3 plus 1 extra one per box = 75 slides)
1 x large plastic box (36 x 1 plus 2 extra ones = 38 slides)
1 high capacity carousel (3 slides missing) = 137 slides
1 standard carousel = 80 slides
=============
330 slides
Note it is going to be much cheaper for you if you remove the slides from the carousel when you order and ship it for digitizing. Shipping is cheap ONLY for miniature packages. Carousels will cost you ALOT extra in shipping. I am not responsible for shipping costs of Carousels back to you. If you plan on sending carousels - then click on the correct payment button where shipping is figured in. I suggest - no carousels due to shipping cost being expensive.
You can also include a money order inside the box if you prefer- just ask by email drviragopete@att.net
