film/photo scanners
Any recommendations for a reasonably priced film/photo scanner (for both
35mm and 120 film)? A few years ago, a bit of searching the net seemed to suggest that the Epson V700 (now I guess V750, aka GT-X970 in Japan?) was the thing to get -- good quality, decent price, more or less as good as you can get without a dedicated film scanner (which seemed _much_ more expensive). It's apparently still in production, which seems a good sign. What's the story these days? Looking at amazon.co.jp shows: Epson GT-X970: ¥42,485 ($448) Nikon coolscan 9000ED: ¥328,320 ($3,460) (ouch!) (are there any other film scanners still in production?) Thanks, -Miles -- Any man who is a triangle, has thee right, when in Cartesian Space, to have angles, which when summed, come to know more, nor no less, than nine score degrees, should he so wish.

Thanks, -Miles Good God, where are you? The 9000 is about 2k$ in the US. And they make the 5000 for half that. Do you need to scan MF? If not, go with the 5000. In fact, there are leftovers of the older model at about $600. -- Michael |

I just looked on amazon.co.jp for prices (not perfect, but they usually reflect the lower end of "typical retail" in Japan); but even half of $2k is still pretty dear... -miles -- Saa, shall we dance?
