Yes dearth. It seems with the decline in popularity of film, that there is also a demise in the availability of film scanners (NSS... you figure out the acronym).
A quick look-see at B&H shows some Nikons, MicroTek and PrimeFilm models. I have a non-photographer friend who is hoping to scan his collection of old family slides and negatives. Anyone have experience with any of the newer sub-$500 PrimeFilm models? I've always read rather mixed reviews on that brand. Or, a good lead on a vendor with yet unsold Minolta Dimage Scan Dual IV's? The closest thing in qualiy to the discontinued Minolta model is a Nikon at twice the price. Tom C. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
