RE: filmscanners: What is 4,000 scanner quality like in practice.

I think that it was 7.50 pounds, not US $.
This would equate to ~$13-14 US.  Still not bad...

I would hope that Lynn was writing tongue-in-cheek or that he has based
comments on out-dated information.  Most of the places that I know in my
local area are charging $15 for a high resolution flatbed or non-drum film
scan. Of course, if one considers the current cost of living as being
pricey, then $7.50 US for a drum-scan would be pricey.

Please forgive the group newbie, but is that $7.50 us for a drum scan and is
it considered pricey??? HOLY *#!%!!! I pay $28-$40/scan!!! Am I being taken
for a ride? Please if anyone can suggest a less expensive vendor please do
so!
