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.


Check it supports the negative sizes you have.
35mm is standard, but if you have bigger ones, your options come down.
Might also be an issue with the panoramic formats.

Most are 35mm roll film negatives, with some slides in card carriers, but
I also have some glass negatives which I may just put into a normal
scanner and play with later.

for 35mm i have a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED which is superb

I bought this at a boot sale, relatives were clearing out their fathers
house and thought it was some kind of old computer, they asked £20 so thats
what i paid them.

buying new now i would have a look at something like the Epson Perfection
V370

good compromise between price/performance
