Carsten,

An alternative you should look at is simply not to buy a scanner. I have a Nikon Coolscan 8000 ED that I bought 2.hand. I see people here praising it into the sky. Could well be. I found the learing curve both steep and long and are really fed up. Now, in the digital age, it is like learing to send morse signals.

A scanner; what is this animal going to cost? How long time will it take to use it to perfection? Think twice. Could it be that a professional lab do the job both better and to the same cost? With limited spare time to spend on photography I have decided to not to put much more time into learning to scan. Wave good-buy to film technology. - Digital photography offers enough challenges.
