I can also reccommend the Nikon Coolscan range, I've used them for years, first of all a Coolscan lll and now I use a Coolscan 4, excellent results from both. One thing I find when scanning slides, I don't always accept the first image as being the best you can get from the slide. If the result doesn't look good enough when you know the slide is good, keep reinserting the slide and scanning again, sometimes they take a bit of persuading to obtain the result you want. I've been amazed at the results that can be obtained from a slide you thought wouldn't scan, I had several slides of Barn Owls that had a very dark band across their feet, the flash setup had slipped without my realising, I scanned the slides, cropped the head and shoulders in Photoshop and now have some very useable photo's that print well to A4.
