anyone have a negative scanner?

[Anonymous]

I'm actualy going to put a few rolls of b/w film through my 35mm today! I was wondering if someone had a film scanner that could scan my negs once I develop them?

It will probably be 10 or so images once I'm said and done.

Thanks

My pop just bought a Visioneer that has this irritating little area that's supposed to be for negs.

yep, got one (real negative scanner, not the add-on POS that comes with most flatbed scanners)

Nikon LS-IV (coolscan IV), using Silverfast AI software, can produce up to a 5800dpi scan (8700x5800 file) in 16bit, approx 250mb or anything under.

One other option, if you have a digital camera, is use it, and a light table, make some sort of stand to hold the camera, so that it can focus cleanly on the negative, use the timed shutter option (I'm playing with this now, for doing index sheets, then use the 'real' scanner for the good pix)

Great Idea for the digital cam. I'll have to try it out! That means I'd have to buy a printer to see hard copies though. . .

I've got the newer Minolta, which I am pretty happy with.
I'd be happy to run then through for you. Contact me via pm.
