What size (physical dimensions) is the "film", Roland? Perhaps a
slide scanner or a flatbed scanner with transparency adaptor would be
better -- at least if you know what you're looking for -- and would
give you the ability to print a hard copy). If you have to search
through the fiche to find something then scanning would be time
prohibitive, I think. Do you have a light table? Perhaps your binos
could also be pressed into (reverse) service?
