test the scanner with Kodachromes before you buy. many of the scanners with 
Digital ICE will work poorly with Kodachromes. my Coolscan 4000ED is one of 
the ones where i can't get any usable results.

I'm looking @ a new small business venture.
Slides & negs go cheap @ auctions.  So I'm grabbing them up.
Sat. I got >1000 old kodachromes for $3.  That's a common price.
Most of them are dated shots from 1930s to 1970s.
Landscapes and city scapes from bygone years.
So I'm going to scan them and start a little stock business.
What's a practical and reasonably-priced scanner?
