Default Re: Scanning slides - which route to take?

You don't say for what purpose you wish to scan these slides. If simply to archive the slides and nothing more, then any scanner will do. However if you have the desire to make reasonably large prints of good quality (now or in the future), then you really need a dedicated film (slide) scanner, not a flatbed. Going this route with a large number of slides is a long and tedious job. I would suggest you get your hands on a slide projector and spend a couple of evenings culling the collection for those images worth scanning (and post-processing). If your collection is anything like mine you will end up selecting about 2 in 5 for further work.

Cheers/Mike
