Jim,

Too bad they have been cut.  I would have been happy to scanned them for you
on the Nikon, but they speedy way is a roll at a time.  Unfortunately, you
don't want to wait the length of time it would take me to do 4 at a time.

Honestly, though, I'll bet renting is very expensive.  By the time you rent
for a few days, you could buy a good scanner.  I know it's pricey, but I'd
consider it.
