rjans Posted September 17, 2006 Share #1 Posted September 17, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am not sure wich would be the, within a budget of approx. 700 Euro, a good scanner for my needs. Was thinking of a Coolscan LS-50 ED or an Epson Perfevtion V700 Photo. Since the Coolscan is dedicated to film only I presume it is to prefere above the Epson. I would be scanning mounted slides, also colour negatives and occasionally B&W negatives. Thanks for any advice. Roger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cron Posted September 17, 2006 Share #3 Posted September 17, 2006 Hi! I am very happy with my out of production Konica Minolta 5400 II. Maybe you can find a new one by some dealers or a 1a used KM scanner. Beside its very solid building quality and very good scans standard equipment here is a loader for up to 4 framed dias or 6 non-cut negatives - this is why I prefer it.

gdb Posted September 17, 2006 Share #5 Posted September 17, 2006 In my opinion, the film scanner is much preferable. But I haven't tried the new Epson V700. One good thing about the Nikon is the 50-slide autofeeder which I use very much. But the Epson is able to scan up to 12 (or more) slides on one pass, and moreover, you may scan 6x6 or larger slides as easily as 35mm films. A friend of mine is waiting for a V750. When he gets it, I will try it and share my opinion. But do not wait for that! Cheers Gérard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikau Posted September 19, 2006 Share #6 Posted September 19, 2006 I am very pleased with my Nikon 5000ED. The Minolta may be a little superior, but Nikon has much better service in my area, which counts for a lot. However, I've used a quite a few different scanners and have always found that - certainly at 35mm size - the dedicated film models do a significantly better job than those that handle both film and reflective copy.
