sirbridge Member 226 posts Likes: 44 Joined Apr 2007 Location: Lindfield, West Sussex, UK More info | Aug 03, 2007 11:11 | #1 I want to scan a fair number of 35mm slides to form a record of a past holiday for the benefit of a relative. Not possessing a flatbed or a dedicated film scanner at the moment, what would be recommended (at a reasonable price) for this purpose ? I have seen the Plustek 7200 advertised fairly cheaply but have also read some "minus" comments about it. Would a flatbed do the job ? Roy G.

IT is an excellent scanner that lets you scan multiple slides at a time. Doc Klepper in the USA

It does a good job and includes "Digital ICE" software for automatically fixing scratches and dust. Its VERY slow for doing high-res scans though. If you're going to be doing a lot of high-res scans, you might want to consider a faster dedicated model.

It does a very good job & is quick if you don't use scratch/dust removal functions. When I used it I washed & dried negatives 1st then there was minimal spot cloning left to work on. I have also used a flatbed for negatives but was never pleased with results.
