What formats? if 35mm only, you really do want to track down a dedicated scanner for best results. The Minolta Scan Dual and Scan Multi Pro models are good and can be had cheaply. You will need also buy Vuescan to use them on Vista or OS X 10.4 or later. The Nikon Coolscan's are also good and only a bit more on the used market. The Nikon 4000 and 5000 are king, but cost like it too.
For Medium Format or sheet film, I recommend the Epson's. V500 for MF and V700/V750 for a do-everything scanner. Betterscanning.com 120 holders and ANR inserts are also well worth investing in as the Epson 120 holder is flimsy and poor at holding film flat. Other options are even better, but have serious costs (Nikon 8000 or 9000, Imacons). -Adam On Sun, Jun 28, 2009 at 6:11 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Looking for a new scanner, anyone have any good thoughts or experience with > any brand..Right now I have a couple of Kodak 2035 plus slide-negative > scanners, and a few other, also a Epson flatbed...Thanks Joe > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. > -- M.
