Hi All,
It had a good run, but my Nikon film scanner decided it couldn't can any more childhood negatives. I'm going to crack it open this weekend to see if there's anything mechanically stuck in it.
If that doesn't work, I'm looking for a new scanner with a decent DPI, DMAX, and contrast. I don't want to buy a used 5000ED, it's too risky. Film scanners are becoming quite a niche market now.
I was thinking of going up to a 120 film scanner (but not critical, I can stay down in the 35mm range). I've looked at Plustek, Pacific Image, Braun, and Hasselblad (just to dream). The Braun F120 seems to have the best constrast/DPI. The Plustek's spec higher DPI, but the contrast looks terrible. Hasselblads are great, but I'd prefer a 2nd car.
Any other suggestions out there? It doesn't necessarily need to be a 120 film scanner, 35mm will fit my needs.
Thanks,
S.Lam
