    I’ve got a bunch of 35mm slides that I would love to scan.

    Flatlander,

    Canon and Epson both make flatbed scanners that have the ability to scan negs or slides and are really affordable. We parted with our big $$$ Nikon scanners when we switched to new Mac’s with OSX and bought a $99 Epson. Nice thing is that you can also scan documents and other things with it so it’s not a loss after you scan all your slides.

    jpavoncello,
    Thanks for the reply. How is the quality of the scans on the flatbed versus something like the Nikon Coolscans?

    I think the first question you need to ask is what is, or might be, the ultimate use of the scanned images.

    Quality, used scanners are a dime a dozen these days. I would not use a flatbed scanner for film.

    Considering the Epson flatbed that we use on a daily basis has a higher resolution then the Nikon Coolscan that we used to scan with, I think the flatbed is just fine.
