When I looked into this for us, unless you were going to have a continuing
need the answer was to just pay someone to scan the slides for you.
ScanCafe.com was who we used, with very good results.
The reason is that good scanning equipment was costly and good scanning
equipment that was also fast enough to deal with a number of slides was
extra special costly. For us, it was a one time deal to get old photos
digital and there'd be no need once we'd done it once, so ScanCafe.com was
cheaper, easier, and took a lot less time.
