  • Film (negative) scanner

    From geoff@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 21 15:20:09 2022
    I do have a Nikon Coolscan LS5000ED with magazine for slides, but for
    quick convenient live viewing (both transparency and colour negative on
    its own little screen and via HDMI to TV or monitor), and scan captures
    of snapshots, is the Kodak Slide N Scan any good, or it there something
    better around that does the same ?

    There are lots of cheap ones that seem to be quite similar to the Kodak
    model but I would only bother with it for quick previews. It's just a
    cheap digital sensor and lens setup that will never give you the same
    quality as a dedicated film scanner.

    By the time you research this and buy another scanner, your scans would
    be done with the very competent LS5000ED.

    Beginning in the 1970's, all birds in North America were replaced by
    drones made to look and act like birds. By 2004, no real birds are to
    be found. They are all drones. They all belong to the government.
    They spy on everyone. All of the time. Birds are not real.

    Looking more at the functionality of live viewing, for shot selection to actually scan properly.

    And for general snapshot viewing bigger than 6x 4.
