    Folks, I'd say your best bet is to buy a scanner and do the work yourself, even though it will take an age. Any shop/organisation that you employ to do the scanning for you is going to charge you a fortune, and the process is out of your control. Even though it will take a lot of time to do the job yourself, you're still saving a lot of money and you can decide what level of quality is acceptable to you.

    I have a 2yr old Epson Perfection 3170 at home that takes both 35mm and 6x6cm slides, scans at up to 6400dpi and regularly produces scans in excess of 20Mb at full res. There is more than enough data in those scans to do A3 and if I pushed it, A2 prints (less quality there though). And the scanner cost €100.
    At least try this route anyway.

    I had decided to take a chance and buy the basic Plustek one last week and was actually ordering it from Amazon when I discovered that they're not sending electronic/photo stuff to Ireland anymore :(
