I wanted to avoid that, because it would mean that I'd have to make prints first. As it is, I'm having difficulty getting a darkroom set up, and, besides, I wanted some quick way to go from photographing to web publication without having to go through printing. Handing a film in for processing, no printing, no cutting of negs, affords me a reasonable combination of flexibility and cost. > Another option is to take slides or negs to a film processor that will > scan and burn them to CD for you. Cost. For the price of doing this about ten or twenty times, I can get a Minolta Dimage Dual Scan III scanner (which is looking pretty good, I must say) which will give me more control over the end result. Besides, I don't necessarily want *every* image I shoot on a CD. Having read some opinions and some reviews, I think the aforementioned Minolta (film) scanner might be the way to go.
