Preferences and Flatbeds

2003-11-14 by Rocco from Boston

First off, you folks have a wondeful site here. I have tried 
changing my prefrences back to 'no email' but still get individual 
messages, any thoughts on this? 
Lastly, I am searching for a christamas present for my self and 
am thinking new flatbed scanner or comprable priced film 
scanner. I am currently using an old Microtec X6. 
I am looking to archive years and years of negatives 
and also be able take partion aspects of negatives and blow up 
to reasonable prints 5x7 or 8x10. I am looking to stay in the 
$400-$500 range. 
Thanks in advance. Please feel free to email 
me off list if you want. Rocco

But you'd be able to get a used Nikon IV in that price range easily (or 
maybe a new one - is the rebate still going on?) if you want ICE, or you 
can go for the $300 range and get the Minolta III.

On another note - has anyone heard anything about the new Epson 4800 scanner?

Rocco, you might want to wait a little while, because Epson has 
released a new scanner that has been selling in Japan since the 
middle of last month. Over there it is called the GT-X700 and it has 
some amazing features that are a major leap over the current 3200.  
It has:  4800 dpi, 3.8 bit depth, ICE, new optical head, color 
restoration, will handle two 4X5 transparencys at one time, and when 
you roughly translate the yen price it comes to about $400 U.S..

You probably can't read the Japanese at the following site, but you 
can get a lot from the photos.

I would guess that it will be in the states fairly soon.

Rocco,

Yahoo Groups is often very slow with these types of changes. Give it a few
days and if are still getting e-mail let me know off line.

You didn't say what size film you want to scan but the Epson 3200 has been
very popular for medium to large negatives. For 35mm you would probably be
better off with any of the lower priced dedicated 35mm scanners with
resolutions in the 3600 ppi and up range. I had a Microtek 4000t (under a
Polaroid label) that was very  good. They are $470 at B&H. Fujifilm and
Pacific image also have scanners in your budget.
