For 35mm? Get a Minolta Scan Dual III or IV and a copy of VueScan. Flatbeds don't do well for 35mm.The SDIII/IV generally run around $2-300 on the used market (Nikons are also good, but far more expensive right now). The cheap Plustek's are junk.
For MF? Flatbeds are fine, get an epson V500/V600and a betterscanning.com holder+ANR insert. -Adam On Mon, Nov 1, 2010 at 1:31 AM, Nick David Wright <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, I'm piddling around about film scanners again. > > I'm considering four models.
