Here at the GAC we have an Epson 3200, its very good, and I see they have
now upgraded this to the Epson 4870. This has now got Digital ICE (dust and
scratch removal) on both the tranny AND flatbed scanning, I think this is
all the scanner anyone could possibly need. (10x8 scanning excepted)
Some time ago I asked Epson to scan one of our trannies and send the results
back on CD, they tested the 3200 and 1640, the 3200 won hands down over the
considerably more expensive machine.

Subject: Neg/Slide Scanners
Has anyone had any recent experience of purchasing a 'reasonably priced'
scanner that can scan 35mm slides and Victorian glass negatives/slides, as
well as normal flatbed prints?
This is for a community based project so the budget looks like being in the
region of £500 max.
Thanks.
