First with NikonScan 2.0 and 2.1 now with Silverfast.I scanned negs and slides for the web an for printing with Epson Photo and Tektronix Phaser 560. My experience is, that it is much easier to get good results with negatives than with slides. The result from negs looks fine with a nearly linear gradation curve and very few colorcast correction. With slides it is difficult to reduce the huge density range to the printers or monitors small range. So you often need gradation curves with a hyperbolic shape. I'm a newbie on scanning and this is my private experience I made during the last few month. It is much more difficult and it takes me much more time to get good results with slides. I made my experience with Fuji Provia and Sensia on Slides. For negs I used KodakGPX and GPY and especially PJM which IMHO is the best film for digital imaging. You can use it from 100 to 1000 ASA without pushing. It is sharp enough for scanning with a slide scanner. Its color saturation is fine and it records everything without getting to less or to much density.
