I second the comments on Vuescan, which has also been discussed extensively in the past. But if I were buying a scanner today, I would take a good hard look at the new Epson Perfection 3200, which I believe is due to be introduced in March. If one is to believe the early reviews, it is the first flatbed for a reasonable price which has adequate resolution and Dmax to do good scans of 35mm.(I think the list price is about $600.00). - -- Rolfe Tessem Lucky Duck Productions, Inc. rolfe@ldp.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
