From: "Andrea Coffey" : I have a Canon FS4000US scanner. It is 4000dpi, connects to the : computer via USB or SCSI, and has carriers for scanning : 4 mounted 35mm slides; : 6 frames of 35mm film; and : APS-C film (I have never used this latter item). : It importantly has a mechanism for detecting (infra-red scan I : believe), and correcting for (using software), gunk on the film. : I tooi can recommend these, often reviewed as having the sharpest lens of any film scanner available at the tim, they work very nicely, but if your film s blocked up you *need* vuescan to drive it however, for the number of slides you have you'd best consider what a realistic output resolution is - and if you don't *need* maximum image resolution then for the slides at least, you might be better off using a digital camera and a light box (white balance to this of course) and shooting them directly it's a whole lot faster than using a scanner! karl
