[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm exceptionally pleased with my Epson V600 (about $180 at B+H Photo) and an ancient version of Photoshop (PS3). You can get fancy-schmancy scanning accessories for it from Better Scanning, too. I scan about five rolls a week, in both 35mm and 120.

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.

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?
