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

["Laurie Solomon" <laurie@advancenet.net>]

If it was 7.50 pounds and not US dollars, then it may have been my oversight
for which I apologize; but as you said it still would be relatively
reasonable considering that most of the drum scans that I have seen in my
area are going for $20-$35 US for a high resolution scan.  Given that Lynn
lives in the US, I just assumed that when he said 7.50 he meant US dollars.

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.

it considered pricey??? HOLY *#!%!!! I pay $28-$40/scan!!! Am I being taken
