A question to the people using a 35mm scanner - given it takes a while to scan a single frame, how do you proof your negs prior to scanning? Do you use a loupe and a lightbox, or ask the developer to do a contact sheet?
I'm debating whether to buy a scanner (and a printer, FWIW) and I like the 35mm ones for compactness and resolution, but I don't want to spend hours and hours scanning... So trying to figure out a workflow.
When I have enough rolls backlogged, I go rent a colour darkroom slot for a few hours, then make contact sheets of everything as fast as possible. Then after a while I pick my favourites and scan or print them properly.
