Getting this out there a little early, but I know that PDML-ers may have connections...
If you know anyone that has an Imacon film scanner that they are willing to part with, I am looking. Ideally, I will not be purchasing it until next summer, but since these don't come on the market just every day, I would like to know about anything available as you hear about it. *Please ping me off-list. The one thing that is clear to me is that Imacons can be a bit of a white elephant and the prices dropping fairly rapidly in the U.S.. I think this is due to several factors: • Apparently you now have to send them to the UK to get them serviced (ouch) • Service can be expensive • Imacons seem to be more of a Mac-compatible product (and older Macs, at that) • The latest flatbed scanners, like the recent Canon and Epsons offer darn-good quality for a fraction of the price and have none of the weird connection issues of the Imacons Still, for the right price, I think I'd like an Imacon over an alternative. For one thing, I have a Mac that would work with it already. My son-in-law could use it for his Pentax 6x7 negatives, and I'm getting a 6x17 camera late this winter... so my "need" is not immediate, but I would appreciate it if you happen to see one on your local Craigslist, have one, or know of someone who is selling for whatever reason. Thanks in advance!
