Julian,

I'm pretty sure that the minimum that will work for you is a film scanner
like the Plustek from B&H (about $400).    I still keep my Nikon 35mm
scanner, and the Epson Photo 4990 Photo for backlog of 4x5 and 8x10 negs,
though the latter is not sufficient for 35mm.  There may be a flatbed that
is OK for 35mm though I have left scanning behind except as needed.  The
Vuescan software is OK once you learn its quirks, i.e., don't use its film
presets.  If I had film images like some of the folks on the LUG, I would
have an Imacon ($15k-$25K) even if I had to skip a trip to the C?te d'Azur
now and then.

Ken

Dear Gurus,

After a long hiatus, I have the itch to put my M6 and R8 to use once again. 
My dedicated 35mm film scanner and B/W darkroom facilities are no more.

Can you suggest a practical way for me to get high pixel scans made from my
film?

Thank you,

Julian (the lurker)
