In Reply to: Re: Any Ideas On A Great Scanner??? posted by Des on March 23, 2001 at 20:17:22:
If Imacon (which starts at something like USD 7000 if I'm not mistaken) is too pricey, well... you're going to have two scanners.One - for 35mm. Quite a few models around USD 1000-1500.
A pack of models in USD 500-700 area (where the first pick is Nikon, it is a Great Scanner). Finally, there is Acer 2720 at about USD 250 (performs not bat at all but weak mechanics). Stay away from products targeted exclusively for home fun use (basic Microtek, Acer, Kodak Photosmart. I have a Kodak Photosmart from 1997 and by now it's dying mechanically after scanning not more than a thousand negatives).
Anyway, look at reviews at www.photographyreview.comAnother - a flatbed for for larger media. Don't know this segment well.
Tube image was taken with a $45 flatbed scanner.
