Im looking into scanners to digitise some of the slides and films Ive shot over the last couple of decades and struggling to work out what model to get.
(and older thread here was 2 years old)

I had thought about the Epson v600, having done some reading a few months ago, though now I hear people saying that the Epsons (V500, 600 & 700) flatbed type arent so great for 35mm.

The images to be scanned were little more than some travels, some documentary and a little of the creative stuff, definitely not professional level or anything, but if I figure if Im going to spend the time scanning, I may as well not waste it with really crappy image quality.

Definitely only for 35mm, but some very long panoramas up to 20cm from my lomo spinner.


Anyone got any thoughts??

Will the Epson 600 be enough?
Ive just heard about 'Plustek' but havent looked into them yet
What about other options?

Definitely dont want to spend bucketloads, I liked the idea of trying to keep it under $500. Thanks in advance!
