Thanks Erik, but time on my hands is exactly what I don't have. Given that Nikon doesn't make slide scanners anymore, can someone suggest a real-world solution? I'm happy to read all the sucess stories with Nikons, but I need something I can buy new now. I don't trust used precision scanning equipment. It's not like an Ampex 350, something I can fix. -- Tom Fine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erik Dix" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2012 8:20 AM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] 35mm slide scanner -- what's good these days? > If you want to go old school and have a lot of time on your hand you could try to find a leafscan > 35 or 45. > http://www.leafstuff.com/ > We have a leafscan 45 with silverfast but a scan takes very long. > > Erik > Notre Dame Archives > On 9/19/2012 7:54 AM, Tom Fine wrote: >> I don't like e-books at all.
