I'd like to start looking for an "inexpensive", probably used (epay I
suppose if I have to), USB-connecting scanner that would do a decent job on
35mm slides and negs for web images, and hopefully would do 6x6 slides. I
suppose it has to be a flatbed to meet those requirements. Any
reccommendations, or do I have to do the research myself? :-)
