♥♥♥♥♥ The best scanner as of 2008...buy it!
i have been a photographer for more than 30 years and I've been 100% digital since 2004 when digital SLRs finally became affordable. The huge and overwhelming archive of 35mm slides and negatives have been screaming for digital conversion. After several failed attempts with Plustek 7200 and Pacific Image, I decided to spend the $$$ for the best...well worth it! Sadly, the Nikon Coolscan V is a little tough to find as most internet website state "out of stock" or "backordered". Thankfully, I found a reasonable priced brand new unit on eBay for $596. I have completed my slide scanning with amazing results and now I'm working on the C-41 negatives, possibly a little too late as some of them are damaged beyond hope. The Digital ICE software technology is truly astounding. I have been scanning at 4000dpi and 14-bit depth...the resulting TIFF files are >100mb each so you absolutely need a huge hard drive and lots of memory (RAM). Unfortunately, the Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 software has limitations with 14-bit depth, however no limitations with 8-bit depth. All in all, I would recommend this to any & all photographers with archival needs...the caveat being this "the user needs to have experience with PC software"
