<Can I ask what kind of file sizes you can get off a scan and where you purchased the scanner?......Cant find one with my local suppliers.
Cheers Simon> Hi Simon, I bought mine from Insight at http://uk.insight.com/index.php. They're showing over a thousand in stock and they're only �267+ VAT, less than I paid just a couple of weeks ago. I've not had chance to use it as much as I'd planned. I bought it to replace an old flatbed for general office use and to try scanning some old black and white stuff from my Granddad's WW2 pics! However, fiddling around with 35mm Velvia gets files easily in the region of 45Mb and some of my Mamiya 645 stuff has given files in excess of 120Mb, more if you save the RAW file in Vuescan. I'd say for the money, it's very good, but you get what you pay for. File size isn't everything and it will never match the quality that I get from my local lab's dedicated film scanner. After I bought it, there was a revue published at http://www.photo-i.co.uk ,might be worth a read.
