I tried the Epson mentioned above and found it to be awful (had several dead lines on the light source)<br /> <br /> I bought one to digitise a load of old film and slides. Didn't bother with the bundled software just used it straight from VueScan. My approach was to get a nice flat well exposed scan and then used a Lightroom plugin to develop them based on profile of the film chemistry they came from (forget the name of it, cost about 20 quid I think)<br /> <br /> <br /> Once I was done I sold the scanner back on eBay for about 30 quid less than I paid for it 8 months earlier.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://plustek.com/gbr/products/film-photo-scanners/opticfilm-8200i-se/">https://plustek.com/gbr/products/film-photo-scanners/opticfilm-8200i-se/</a><br /> <br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=43051.12&return_msg=43051.12" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="43051.12"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </body>
