RE: filmscanners: Kodak RFS 3600

["Sumtingwong" <Sumtingwong@hawaii.rr.com>]

I have put roughly 500 negs through mine, most in rolls of 36.  It will not
choke on the 37th, you just have to start over: pre-scan the frame (if you
want), and then scan away.  At full resolution, it takes about 75 minutes to
do a roll on a home built AMD K6II 450 Mhz with 384 megs.  I use the USB
connection.  After the prescan and any adjustments, which take about 10-15
minutes, I have to do no babysitting.

I would suggest, however, that the scanner sit up fairly high off the
ground.  The roll just hangs out of the machine.

Thanks for the review.

Have you (or anyone else) batch scanned anything yet? I'm wondering how
long it takes to chew through a roll, whether the 37th frame will make
it choke, and how much babysitting you need to do.

Thanks.
