I have been, once again, been delving head first into photography, using it as a means to escape work, and have been shooting slide film and developing it myself... So my next task is to find a color slide scanner so that I can scan them into the computer and share them with everyone. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I should look for before purchasing one or recommendations? Jack

I know minolta makes one that will scan sizes from APS to Medium format. Probably more than you need but hey, gadgets are cool. I have had past experiece with an older nikon coolscan which was and I bet still is very good. I am fairly biased toward Nikon so I would go with one of the Nikon series. Alpha mentioned a good one. Feel free to pick me up one too ; )
