Re: [APML] Which Filmscanner should I buy?

["S y z y g y" <syzygy@vnet.net>]

The July 2001 issue of Popular Photography (p48) had an article
comparing 7 film scanners (including most of the ones you listed
below).  Popular Photography reviews are pretty lame but you might get
something from the article.

I personally have the Kodak Professional RFS 3600 and I cannot
recommend it for many reasons.
