Re: OT: Digital Slide scanners

I still have three scanners, LS8000 for roll film, V700 for generating contact sheets, rough scans and 4x5+. For 35mm film stocks I use a dedicated 35mm scanner which is optimised for the task, it's a Konica Minolta DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 II, it's the bee's knees, that said any scanning is a PITA.

I'm working my way through my own old film & a family archive. I don't think it would be cost effective to send the work out because it's in so many different forms. I have 35mm slides & negatives of my own along with 120 transparencies & negatives and 4x5 transparencies & negatives. The family

Re: OT: Digital Slide scanners

Hi Doug: I own the Epson 600, but ironically I have used it way more for document scans than photos and slides. I have tried some slide test scans, and I find the quality ok, not great. I think the 600 is pretty decent for scanning print photos though. But the real reason for my response is

I have a lot of family slides from when I was kid. Stereorealist. So I figured someday when I am older and have more time, I would sit down and cut them in half and scan them. I can do about 8-12 at a time (don't remember) on the flat bed. It does do a good job and I wouldn't expect the

Re: OT: Digital Slide scanners

Absolutely true, but no flatbed scanner produces the scan quality of a dedicated film scanner. All of these things are tradeoffs at one level or another. I have had four pro-grade flatbed scanners (including two Epsons, up to the V750 model, and one with true glassless film carrier

Re: OT: Digital Slide scanners

The Nikonscan hack is pretty useful. About a year ago I retired my XP machine and installed Nikonscan on a Win 10 x64 box. The hack works fine on Win10 though I had to temporarily disable WIn10's requirement that all drivers be digitally signed. Vuescan is a great optionand I use it for 35mm

Re: OT: Digital Slide scanners

Depends on what you want to use the scans for. If you are digitizing a family archive or plan to just use the scans for web use a V600 might be fine. Or as others have suggested, use a service. If you are doing higher end work I would look at a V800 or V850. I'm using a Nikon LS8000 for 35mm

I have a Nikon Coolscan IV ED. It came with two heads; "MA-20 Slide Mount Adapter" for slides & "SA-20 Strip Film Adapter" for film strips. It also had an accessory "Strip Film Holder FH-3" that allows you to scan strips of up to 6 frames using the slide head. The Nikon scan software hasn't

A long time ago, it seems, I bought an ACER ScanWit 2720s. It's a SCSI interface device, and while it's supplied software is hopelessly dated, there is third party software, (ViewScan), that will actually give better scans, taking full advantage of the hardware, which the original software

No help. Except I have a lot of slides too. I still have an Epson flatbed slide scanner which I saved if I ever get around to my piles of slides. (When I first started photography I quickly switched from regular film and shot slide film instead.) It does an amazingly good job, frankly. The

I (and others on the PDML) have had some success with the Epson V600 Photos flatbed scanner. Or similar. Workflow is decent, not limited to 35mm, useful if you have any 645 or 6x6 or 6x7 negatives or slides, also useful for scanning photos and other paper. There are also a couple of scanning
