What to look for when buying a new 35mm Slide and Negative scanner? - flatbed negative scanner
I have prepared my slides in a local laboratory, and thus the cost of the E6 and digitally processed, and a little expensive. I cut one of the costs and buy my own scanner. I have an old flatbed scanner and have to press and some advice.

He od area dedicated film scanners on the market, many .. Some good, some .. not so good
Epson V500 is in the form of ownership, its V700/750 a little better. Nikon has several models in the series of exploration costs of + / - $ 500 + / - $ 3,000 and of course they are even better.
I have an Epson V750 and use and is paid $ 3000 from my Minolta Dimage Scan Multi Pro film scanner. However, the Minolta is almost 10 years old and technology is progressing.
In many cases, the air / film scanner bed, pirates are going very well, because I and the work of the film plane at a good price. The V-700/750 is good if you want full scans a 8x10 roll film as a test sheet in the darkroom, and save the "Street" on your computer for viewing.
You can also use the 12 mounted slides at once, and after they are automatically saved to a file of your choice. You can also 4 NEG Strip, 6 pictures of each color (or bandwidth) in the same way. 120 films, 4x5 and 8x10 film can be discovered by this monster (I prefer whole orE above, what I need) this scanner.
Move the old plane somewhere, and at least look at the Epson V-500 ..

The Epson Perfection series, such as the V500, for example, are very good flatbed scanner, which specializes in digital media, films virtually any size. A few things to note would at least be a maximum optical scan resolution of 6400 dpi and 48 bit color depth, one comes with the film scanner software media, has its own withdrawal from the natural dust and its ability to the picture correct, unless you have Photoshop (although the Epson comes with Photoshop Elements 4), which has its own proprietary media for either NEC or slides - which are quite different standard in the V500: http://www.amazon.com/Epson -Perfection-V ... For $ 200, you almost can not win in my opinion.
I used my slides on a Nikon Coolscan V-scan, digital since I have been little used. Is there one years. Although the software is an object of special attention to programs such as color management is a problem when scanning slides.
I do not think there are many new standards on the market slide scanner in recent years thanks to digital cameras. You will probably end up with one of the older models, but good. An airplane is of course different, some very well in recent years.
I learned a lot in a very good hand-analysis. It is very instructive. Take a look at http://www.scantips.com/begin.html
