I have seen a few threads here where you guys discuss different cameras and all. I was wondering if anybody has a recommendation for photo enlarging equipment.

I have several 35mm slides that I would like to memorialize and digitize. So far, the equipment I have come across sucks.:ack

Any recommendations??

Probably best to send them to a high end photo lab. The equipment needed to do a good job is often much much more expensive than sending things out, unless you plan on using it very regularly.

...got a ton to do. Though that is a good alternative.

At one point Herb, Kodak used to operate labs that the public would rent by the hour. Don't know if still an option, but I would call Kodak customer service and ask them.

Money Magazine tested six providers in January 2008 and chose Scancafe.com as the best, even though your slides or photos are actually scanned on another continent.

A designer friend of mine sent off a bunch of slides and was very happy with the results.
