To keep up with my jones for 35mm film, I just couldn't keep a darkroom anymore, so I decided to go with a negative/slide scanner. I don't know very many people (around here) that do film anymore, so I had to go with what I read on websites about various scanners. The Nikon Coolscan was my first choice, but pricey.
So, I went with the Plustek, which came in a couple of days ago. My schedule has been hectic, and I haven't even been able to open the box yet, much less study the manual and try it out.
I'm not asking anyone to do my homework for me, but if you have any experience with this unit, and can offer up some advice concerning tricks/pitfalls/etc..to try or avoid I would really appreciate it.
Or If you just want to add your opinions, negative or positive, I'd be interested in hearing what you have to say. I hope it at least to give high resolution scans of B&W neg's, and color would be nice also. Anyway, I'd appreciate any comments that you might have concerning your experience with this scanner.
Thanks ahead, and remember: "beer isn't just for breakfast anymore"
