    I bought a HP scanjet 5500 a few years ago for the same purpose it had the auto feeder for photos I now wish I had bought a full sized auto feeder as the photo feeder is really designed for smaller prints than what are commonly used now.

    It has been replaced by the Scanjet 5590 whihc is now a full sized feeder.

    A few years ago there were huge differences when it came to scanners but now they all are high resolution you just need to choose one you like.

    if you still have the negatives, a £60 slide scanner will produce better results than a flatbed.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
