Well, if you shoot a lot of film, you can do it yourself by getting a Nikon 9000 and a bulk film adapter. It can scan35 and medium format. I use the older 35mm only model LS-4000. Typically I scan in a whole roll of 36-38 pics at around 2000 DPI for "proof" and for web presentation. The whole process there take about an hour (unattended). Anything I want higher quality I will rescan at 4000 DPI. I think the 9000 runs you about $3000? So if you shoot around 300 rolls (and less if you count the quality scans), you are there :-) // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
