[filmscanners] Re: filmscanner for business use

Hi Steve,

I use a Nikon 4000ED with a roll film adapter to scan full rolls.  It's
almost great.  The hardware IS great, but the software is so buggy it seldom
finishes a complete roll before it crashes.  It usually scans 6-12 neg's and
then closes down the program.  I simply reopen the program and start
scanning where I left off.  It DOES run semi-unattended.  If the software
didn't crash, it would be hassle-free.  It takes about 2-3 hours to scan a
full roll, at 4000dpi with digital ice enabled, on my dual xeon-450
workstation.  Lower resolutions are much faster. Hope this helps

Hi
I run a Kodak Express minilab and lately am getting more business requiring
the burning of complete rolls of 35mm and APS film to CD. Currently I am
doing about 1 roll per day which I have to send to Kodak for processing. I'd
much rather do this in house and would be glad of any advice on which
scanner to buy to scan rolls of film, strips of film and slides, budget is
up to £2,000. I already have a CD burner on the PC.

Thanks
Steve Hudson
