Charlie,


I purchased an Epson V800 and am very pleased with it for transparencies a=
s it will scan large format negatives as well as slides.  It connects via U=
SB and is Twain compliant for importing directly into Photoshop.  The only =
complaint is that for prints, it does not scan the full width of the glass.


Dave

Subject: [CBQ] Slide and Negative Scanners


All-


Does anyone have any experience with slide and negative scanners?   My all=
-in-one copiers can do a decent job of digitizing photo prints but, even th=
ough a couple of them have slide processing capability they are somewhat cl=
unky to use and I have many hundreds of slides and negatives to scan.


An additional wrinkle is that I have about 1000 microfilm aperture cards w=
ith CB&Q locomotive, freight and passenger car drawings on them which I wou=
ld also like to scan.  They are on computer keypunch-size cards 3 =C2=BC wi=
de x 7 =C2=BE so I am hoping on getting something that can accommodate that=
 width card or be modified to do so.  Some of the scanners look like they h=
ave carriers that be duplicated in sheet plastic to make a custom holder=E2=
=
=80=A6if the slot is 3 =C2=BC wide or more.  As a last resort I could trim=
 the width of the cards down to fit but I=E2=80=99d rather not.


I don=E2=80=99t want to go crazy with speed or quality and get a $5000 pro=
fessional unit but I don=E2=80=99t want to go cheap and get the Kodak foldi=
ng box gizmo or the low-end stuff that has no resolution.   I=E2=80=99d rat=
her get one that can connect to my computer for post processing rather than=
 loading to a memory card.   I already have VuScanX64 software which I have=
 used to scan using my all-in-one.


If any of you have experience with scanners and can share thoughts or reco=
mmendations on brands or models to consider it would be much appreciated.


While the subject is technically off-topic it may be of interest to many i=
n each group, please respond off-list unless moderators allow it to run as =
supporting the interests of the group.
