Hello
I have a large collection of 35mm slides taken on Kodachrome 25 in the Swiss
and French Alps. Lots of contrast and detail hidden in dark areas.
At present I have a steam age Canoscan FS 2710 from which I get some good
results using Vuescan. The main problem with such contrasty images in bring
up the dark areas without too much noise. I achieve this by multiple
scanning then saving at half the resolution; I also use NeatImage.
The problem with this is that the max dpi I end up with is 1350, which
limits the size of print I can make.
So I want a new scanner.
I know if I ask what is the best scanner I will get more opinions than
scanners and I guess that in a given price range they are all much of a
muchness.
I think, however, that I will still want to do multiple scanning with
Vuescan and what I buy must support this.
I would be pleased if anyone can tell me if the Nikon Coolscan V (LS50) and
the Minolta Scan Elite 5400 support multiple scanning.
Any other comments gratefully received
