Re: [APML] Film Scanner Question

Hi Kevin:
If it's only 35 mm, then you might consider a Polaroid 35 mm scanner. I've
had great performance from my eBay-purchased Polaroid SprintScan 35 Plus.
It's got a noisy fan and requires a scsi port, but works very well. Cost me
~ $300, probably cheaper now. Support might be a problem...
