    Hello,

    It’s antinomic, a high-resolution CCD scanner can cost several hundreds to several thousands of euros, not to mention possible retouching depending on the quality and condition of the slides, for example here without breaking the bank.

    It may be more cost-effective, for the few times it will be used, to rent or entrust the digitization to a professional.

    Hello,

    I had the chance to test a basic scanner, Lidl's. It’s really not great, to be avoided.

    High-performance devices seem expensive, often for occasional use on an entire stock of slides. Perhaps consider buying a good model second-hand.

    I also saw rental options for devices such as: https://www.des-clics-photos.fr/292-location-scanner-diapositives-reflecta-7000.html
