[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 74412, member: 10543"] I have the same quandary, having many slides that I'd like to scan and will not send out (a) for risk of loss and (b) for the expense. I find the current (09/2012) selection of 35mm Slide Scanners puzzling, as I've never heard of the ~$300 middleweight brands like Plustek and Pacific Image and read of poor image quality on the more affordable brands like Ion and Wolverine. I'm leaning toward a flatbed unit like an Epson V600 or Canon, but they are designed for full page scans and consume a lot of desktop real estate. I once had a splendid little pre-USB HP Photosmart scanner that was expressly designed for 35mm slides and negative strips, but it's now hopelessly obsolete and very tired. Can any of y'all recommend a decent quality 35mm slide scanner that's affordable? :confused: Digital ICE (Digital Image Correction and Enhancement) seems to be a desirable feature in reviews I've read. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
