Inexpensive Film Scanner and more


I am frequently asked for scanner recommendations. Up until recently, I haven’t been keeping up with the latest film scanners. But I had a project, come up where I  needed to scan a large quantity of my old 35mm slides. I own a very expensive Imacon film scanner, but to scan 35mm slides you need to remove each slide from its mount, which is very time-consuming. My project was to create a slideshow so I looked into inexpensive film scanners that would be faster and easier to use. I came across Canon’s Canoscan 9000F scanner. It retails for just under $200. It is a flatbed scanner capable of scanning 35 and 120 film. So I decided to give it a try. I’ve been very happy with my results. I can place 4 slides in the film guides and using the software, determine individually how each one gets scanned. In creating the low resolution 4 MB files I need for the slideshow, I am able to scan four images in about 2 min. The software also includes dust removal, fade correction, and backlight optimizing. These options mean that I have very little or no corrections to do after the scanning. The scanner also can scan to a resolution of 9600 PPI which gives me over 300 MB file from a 35mm slide, which is more than twice the size from my expensive Imacon scanner! If you’re in the market for an inexpensive, but very nice film scanner then I recommend the Canon Canoscan 9000F. To see some of the scans click here.
 
BTW I am scanning for my slideshow at my Canon Live Learning event, photographing wildlife in Montana at Triple D Game Farm. There are still 3 slots open. For more info click here.
 
I just had an opening for my show “Split Personalities” at the Viewpoint Gallery in Sacramento, CA. It was a great opening, over 1000 people viewed the show. My big panorama images got a lot of attention! The show is until Feb 4th if you are in the area.
