Claes,
There's a magazine by Popular Photography on the newsstands now entitled
"Photo Information Handbook" that has a pretty comprehensive article on
film scanners, pros/cons, resolutions, prices, etc. Prices seem to be
manageable until you get into the APS format capability.
Addressing the slide/flatbed scanner issue, seems to me that, all things
(i.e. slide/flatbed scanners) being equal, the further you get from the
original material (the slide), the greater the loss of detail, etc.
Note that most slide scanners to negatives as well, eliminating the need
for a print.
Wanting a slide scanner myself,
Dave

Subject: [OM] Need advice: Slide scanner?
Hello all,
I have a slight-off topic that I need some advice on. I have noticed that
some of you use a slide scanner, and I have become interested myself.....
Primarily, I want to publish sharp photos on the web, but it would be great
if the quality is enough for off-set printing too. What (affordable) slide
scanners are available on the market? It would be great if you, who use
slide scanners could give some http-links to photos that you have scanned
and put on the web. And also give some ideas on pros and cons of different
scanners.
Is it possible to get a good slide scanner under say USD 1000? Or
preferably even less.
Also, what are the pros/cons of using slides and a slide scanner compared
to prints and a good flat-bed scanner?
Greatful for any input in this matter.
