|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Slide/Neg scanner.. Jean Finley, Photo Editor, Photographer Iowa City | IA | USA | Posted: 2:59 PM on 02.13.10 ->> Trying to archive some old stuff. What are you all using for slide/neg scanning? Would be happy if I could get more than a 5megapixel file. Thanks, Jean  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The Epson V750 is alright for 35mm but better suited to 120 roll film or large format. Nikon scanners are pretty hot commodities on eBay, shop wisely.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Nikon Coolscan IV on loan from a co-worker for 35mm. I'm pretty happy with both, except I had forgotten how long it takes to scan photos. Not to hijack the thread, but it has been fun scanning images shot as a stringer for the AP pre-contract because I own them (except for the fact that 75% of the sports images were shot on Kodak 1600 - ugh).  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It gives me about a 12M file. I'll probably invest in a higher-end Epson eventually, but for $89 it does fine on 75 percent or more of the images (best to be a properly exposed image). Maybe someday I'll get a Coolscan. (I remember the days when the Kodak scanner took more than four minutes to acquire an image.) This, and my images on my twitter account, were scanned with the Wolverine (does anyone know who the banjo player is? The guy at right is Stu Mossman of Mossman guitars): http://www.frankniemeir.com/banjoplayer.jpg  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
