Default Photo negatives, slides copier recommendations?

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.


I have done a fair bit of this - but with kit that is now "old"... I
actually found in spite of having a dedicated high end film scanner, I
could get very decent results with a good flatbed with trannie hood
(Epson Expression 1680 pro). It makes a very credible job of misc shaped
negs and other transparancies.

For bulk slides, these days it probably better to take them for
conversion to CD/DVD rathet than but a scanner unless you are doing lots
of them.
