Ha, the external lens delivers the best quality 👍

possibly a newer / higher spec phone would do it better?

Yea, definitely.
I had an old iPhone 6 until last year and then upgrade to a 14 Pro last year, it's nuts.

This is holding a strip of slide film in front of a piece of paper in front of my window -

Especially from Germany 🙂

hahaha

That's some proper MacGuyver shit! 😀

Two questions:

• is that a car battery?!
  
• what is that lens actually for (why don't you just use the macro mode of your phone)?

There's cheap 35mm ones but I've never heard of cheap 110 ones (there's adapters from 35 to 110 for the more expensive scanners, but this route will likely be over your budget)..

..remember you can "scan" film using a digital camera as well though (if you have a somewhat recent smartphone this will most likely be sufficient / actually really good) -
you need a light table (check ebay / classifieds, or DIY with some light source & frosted glass that gives even light under the negatives).
The fiddly bit will be to hold the negatives flat, frankly holding them down with, say, two steel rulers will probably work better than all the plastic negative holders the aforementioned scanners use.

A: No, there's eggs in it, idiot!

..some funky moves right there 🙂

Mieles seem pretty indestructible and not that pricey in the scheme of things. Something like a C3 you can get for £225 here

I got their cheapest (C1, was also on discount at the time) two years ago or so, very happy with it.

Tonight, we built a cardboard food shelter which is small enough for her and not for him

LOL 😅

Amazing!

Just figured it's more meme than most of what's posted in here recently;
definitely cracking me up more than this talk about vintage buttons and whatnot 🤷

Get your stuff developed and scanned (in one go, like as a package) by a shop, using the bestest quality option you can afford (highest resolution, ideally un-compressed files), this will give you better files than scanning at home, stuff is usually auto-corrected (helping with bad exposure, to a degree) unless you ask them to not do this.

You can get good quality scans at home as well, but long story short:

• it's a tedious process, a pain in the ass, really, trust me
  
• you need a proper, dedicated 35mm scanner or a really good flatbed scanner
  
• you need proper (expensive) software like Silverfast to get somewhat close to the quality the shops can deliver with their (way better) scanners
  
• it's a tedious process, a pain in the ass, really, trust me
  

tl;dr - is a Huawei Mate 9 still of any use today?

Elderly family member got this old phone they hardly used, and I understand (from looking at eBay sold auctions) it's not worth much, money-wise -
but is this of any worth to keep around as secondary phone, or any use to a friend I might gift this to - or is the hardware just so old that it's not feasible / not upgrade-able any more?

I hardly know anything about android, what I see is: it's the single-SIM, 64GB version, running EMUI 9.1 (..would it be possible / make sense to install some other OS on it? My understanding is the 9.1 is as far as it goes now though, as Huawei locked the bootloader by now..)

Thanks in advance for any help 🙂

All sounds pretty good so far - hope you can get the issue with their eye sorted out soon as well 👍

How old is she, by the way?

bwahahaha!!

To be fair the Deutschland-Ticket is as convenient (and cheap) as it's going to get 💁
