ah well have another now cause of the other stopping working - which was the original type is way better

if anyone does get one of these scanners - get the one in the long black box not the one in the upright white box - the black box one is heaps better as is the software (arcsoft photoimpression)

I really think that now you are such an expert we should send all our scans to you. Okay?

LOL im not an expert at all hence why i asked on the pp of them in that other post lol now if there was a way to remove all the dust off the slides or the pics easily

The black boxed one though is WAY better than the white boxed one

Says he of the 'crappy scanner'!

[Krzys]

Flatbed film holders are terrible so sharpness lacks I have a dedicated film scanner but no SCSI card...one day I will try it out

Ofcourse my crappy is in comparison to my friend's V700 which is crappy compared to a Nikon CScan 5000 ect

$100 Canoscan 8400f
$35 Polariod Sprintscan 4000

this is a dedicated film/slide scanner - maybe not the best but does the job
