Forget the Epson, or any other affordable flatbed, for scanning 35mm

If you haven't already, please see the reviews at my site.
The latter is the Coolscan3/LS30. Prices have dropped on these and LS2000
recently as Nikon is introducing a new range. This should also mean lots of
secondhand scanners at good prices as people upgrade.
Other possibles:
Acer Scanwit 2720(cheapest filmscanner worth having)
Minolta Dimage Dualscan
And your question is perfectly welcome, this list is for all levels of
experience :-)
