Hi,
I'm looking for any personal recommendations for a copier that will copy
from normal 35mm neg's, slides and small glass plate neg's. Looking
around the web there seems to be a multitude of these, all with glowing
reviews! But does anyone here have any first hand experience of them?
I've scanned many photos before, but this will be my first time with
negatives, it would be good to get a few personal experiences before
diving in.


SWMBO has been scanning a *lot* of her dad's old slides...over the last
couple of years. She says the software does lots of different, useful
things. She is doing hi-res which is not incredibly fast, but she's very
satisfied with it.

It's a Plustek Opticfilm 7500, with Silverfast software. Probably a later
model now. Free upgrades on the software. It was about £400 she thinks.



£340 on Amazon. The 8100 is at £177.50
