[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I am in the process on buying a 35mm film scanner. My main purpose is to crop-rearange a photo and to print no more than 8X10 color and BW. I will be working mainly with neg. and only on occasion with slides. I have evaluated 3 scanners - Nikon Coolscan II - LS20 / Olympus ES10/ Minolta Dimage Scan Dual. My choice so far is the Minolta Dimage Scan Dual because of the 2,438 dpi- the SCSI connection and the price 949$ canadian. The Nikon LS20 is 2700 dpi but is still on the first generation price i.e. 1,900$ canadian. The Olympus is 1770 dpi and is connected to the paralel port (slower). I would appreciate comments from users before I make my final decision. Jacques H. Grilli
