Hi, Roderic,
I took a quick look at these things and they reminded me of other
camera gadgets that ultimately disappointed.
When it came to doing our slides, negatives (and where those did not
exist, prints) we chose a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED for 35 mm and
an Epson V700 for everything else. These devices did not disappoint.
I'm surprised that Jim picked on the Uher -- I can think of many
worse examples like a Craig 212 <grin, duck, and run>. I'm doing some
lovely Sephardic field recordings that were, sadly, recorded on
something like a Craig 212 at 1.88 in/s. But the life of the music
still comes through.
Cheers,
Richard
