Synchronicity or what?
I've just been given a PrimeFilm 1800 negative and slide scanner - I lost
out to a 3600 on eBay that went for - sorry is currently going for - £97.
Apparently mine can scan at 1800 dpi which a seller of one on eBay says
scans at 4 Megapixels. The 3600, if the seller is to be believed, scans at
18 Megapixels. I've not tested mine yet - as I need an appropriate USB lead
- can't find my USB printer lead at the moment. Think it got borrowed. It's
looks simplicity itself to use. Put the negative strip in the slide, switch
on and lign up the appropriate negative and hit the scan button. 10s later I
should have a 4 MP image that I treat as any other digital image. Anyway,
hope this post is of some use.
