Re: Flextight or Microtek

[Willem-Jan Markerink <w.j.markerink@xxxxx>]

If you have the money, go with the Flextight....you can't scan 120 
with any of the dedicated 35mm scanners, while you can with the 
Flextight, up to 6x18cm (cheapest model, 'Flextight Photo')....the 
'Flextight PrecisionII' will do 13x18cm, and the Imacon Progression 
even A3 format.
Also note the lovely high Dmax of 4.1, much higher than any of the 
dedicated 35mm scanners (only drumscanners are better).

The Minolta 6x9cm scanner might be a decent option if you are willing 
to stitch your 6x12 scans....

Btw, there is a Scan Mailinglist available, see canned message below 
for how to subscribe:

Check my homepage for the link to the PhotoForum site, 
where you can find a large overview of photo related mailinglists:

http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/mainpage.htm

This PhotoForum site also offers a nifty 'mailto:' -form for direct 
subscription, and more important: with the same ease for 
unsubscribing....the fastest way to unsubscribe a dozen of lists 
shortly before going on holiday....any other method is tedious at 
best.
Store that URL, and you'll never be searching for either command or 
list-address related to any list....it's all on one page.

Further down my homepage you will also find links to general 
overviews of mailinglists (more than just photo-related).
