[plug] Which Scanners?

[James Clarke]

Hi Peter,

Last time I did any slide or negative scanning I did it under windows,  
but I did all of the post processing under Linux.

The only thing is that scanning is so time consuming, now-a-days I get  
it professionally done because the time savings out weigh the cost of  
getting it professionally done. Finding someone in Perth who does a  
good job I'm not sure. Valentines in Fremantle did a good job on  
Negatives, but not on slides, might want to try someone like  
Fitzgerald or Churchhill. I'm living in Japan now and it's easy to  
find places who do a good job of scanning here. Actually here is  
photographic heaven.

Cheers,

James
