I also borrowed the same colleague's slide scanner and wasn't too happy with the results. Better off taking slide film to a decent pro lab, getting them to make a 4x6 print ($3), and then scanning off the prints with a half decent flatbed scanner.
I've done both recently and the results off the latter are vastly superior. The only downside is when you get large volumes of slides it would become expensive, however a very high quality slide scanner is also pretty exe. |
