filmscanners: Kodak Color Input Targets
I acknowledge that I'm a "newbie" to film scanning, so I'll ask a question
that may have a very obvious answer: How much sense does it make to purchase
one or both of Kodak's Q-60 Color Input Targets for calibrating a new
scanner? I have well in excess of 1000 slides to archive--about equal
numbers of Kodachrome and Ektachrome--and the targets cost $40 and $29
respectively.
Am I likely to save time and re-work by using the targets for calibration, or
is there there some "better" (cheaper, quicker, simpler,etc) way to keep the
scanner in calibration?
BTW, I don't have the scanner yet, although the Acer ScanWit 2720s is at the
top of my list.
Thanks in advance.
