[filmscanners] RE: Two questions

["Keith Gerling" <keithgerling@att.net>]

OK.  Struck out with that one, so let me "refine my search" a little bit.

I can assume, then, that there isn't really a good source of comparitive
information on film scanners, which confirms my original hunch.

Two questions, then:

1) Does anyone here successfully scan negatives/transparencies on any
flatbed scanner?  And by success, I mean are the results as good as those
that would be obtained using a late-model Polaroid filmscanner.

2) Can anyone speak to the merits of the Polaroid Sprintscan 120?

Thanks!

Subject: [filmscanners] Best source for info?


I'm a new subscriber to this list, looking for online comparative
information regarding devices capable of scanning 35mm through 6x9cm.  I'm
fairly ignorant about the capabilities of consumer-grade scanners, (having
been fortunate to be able to use a friend's Isomet 450 drum scanner for the
last two years) and so I don't really know where to start in shopping for my
own equipment.  Recently, I have learned of the Heidelberg and Agfa flatbed
scanners and their supposed capability to provide quality results.  The
Polaroid 120 scanner also looks good.  But what I really need is expert
opinion, and I'm coming up short on that.  Can anyone here point me in the
right direction?  Thanks!

Keith
