Film scanners anyone?
"Ted Gibson" wrote in message
... Does anyone use dedicated film scanners anymore? I have a Minolta Dimage Scan Elite that I no longer use and just wondered if there's still any 'value' to it. It looks and works great and is complete with both slide and film carriers, user manual, CD, AND a PCI SCSI card. I hate to just 'toss' it... It's definitely worth something. Take the plunge and sell it on eBay. -- Mike Russell - www.curvemeister.com |

Wish you would have posted this sooner. I recently ordered this: http://www.hammacher.com/publish/740...promo=homepage It's on backorder. I plan to use it to scan my slides and then re-sell it on eBay. Dunno how good it is, but I have Photoshop 7 and can tweak the resulting images. Once I'm done with the project, I'll have no further use for it. I was going to buy a scanner with slide copying ability, but I have a good scanner and re-selling a scanner is a problem. Shipping it would be a bear. Drop me an email, and if H-M doesn't come through maybe we can work something out. I guess you're near Orlando. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

"Ali" wrote I still use a film scanner. Put it on EBay, you maybe surprised. I'm sure Ted intended to, and it would fetch enough to be worth the effort. He and I have been email buddies for years, and I suggested he post here but not to publicise an eBay auction, as it might lead to a Spam complaint. However, it looks like he and Tony Cooper might come to some arrangement, and that is good to see - both parties win. RPD is good like that! Incidentally, Ted *gave* me his old Nikon LS1000 scanner some years ago, and I have always been grateful for that. From memory, the postage to Australia was around $35 US. Paul |

Paul The replies tell you a lot. There are literally thousands of photographers with slides and negatives taken in the fifties and sixties who want to digitise them. Put it on E-Bay, but not before you have used E-Bay to find out what such devices are fetching, you will be pleasantly surprised! Some of the better film scanners fetch over $1000. Dennis. |
