Oh very interesting thread going on here, I am another who scans my own negs having given up on the dunk and dip brigade about 4 years ago. I use an HP Photosmart scanner which is just about good enough for my own needs and was excellent value for money when I bought it about 2-3 years ago. I then select the best images and store them on my HD and once I have a large enough collection burn them onto CDrom wish I could justify a DVD recorder but rather spend my cash on a new Digital Camera probably a NikonD100 I catalogue them with the same utility Chelle uses. For anything better I am lucky to have a good friend who is a wizz in the Darkroom who can produce exhibition quality prints. I have tried my hand at this, but not in the same class. Also been doing my own using Cibachrome etc with fairly good results, but have not bothered for ages. Dust and scratches are such a pain and I welcome my digital camera with open arms!!
