David HoDoes anyone have film scanner recommendations?
Tony@davidho I recommend staying away from flatbeds. They all offer a lot of flexibility and cover a lot of formats, but they're largely sub-par compared to dedicated scanners.
I jumped from a Canoscan 9000f to a dedicated 35mm Plustek scanner back in 2020. The sharpness and quality was like night and day.
Jon Bosak@coldkennels @davidho I use a Nikon Coolscan 9000 for both 35mm (up to two strips of 6 at a time), 6x6 (one strip of three at a time), and 6x9 (one strip of two at a time). I'm pretty sure that without true 4000 dpi resolution and 16 bit depth (48 for color) I'd be up the creek when it comes to full control in "printing" the images. So I can highly recommend these scanners. But damn they're expensive.
