I'm looking for a film scanner because I want to get my 35mm slides onto pbase. I was looking at this one. Anyone here use it? Any other options that I should consider?
I read a review on the Plustek OpticFilm 7200i. The review overall was very positive with a few cons. Whic as I recall were: 1) it had a limited Dmax; 2) colours were not as 'good' as the competition and 3) the supplied software was not great.
I also remeber being pretty impressed by the quality of the scans in the review. Do a google search for a UK site and you may find it.
Derek, does your Mac have SCSI? I have a Sprint 4000dpi 35mm scanner which is SCSI that I am not using and would sell for under $200 (to fit in with this thread ) since I scan all MF and smaller with a Nikon 8000 now.
True. You'll probably want to overexpose slides meant for scanning. Bracket so that you get a normal slide for projecting on your wall, and an overexposed one to scan.
Also, you must get Vuescan. Silverfast isn't very good software.
