| 593186 | 2008-01-29 07:35:00 | if you took the discontinued Minolta and current Nikons they can be a huge improvement over Plusek and etc scanners I think your judgement is a little harsh here. True the Nikon is the best scanner and this is illustrated by being "best in test" in many comparative reviews. Interesting in many of the same reviews the Plustek comes out scoring "best value" Actually the Plustek spec betters the Nikon in Optical resolution. Were the Nikon shines is in Optical density, this means the Nikon scans have more contrast than the Plustek. Also the Nikon is considerably faster than the Plustek, Typically 40sec V's 3 minutes per scan. I would like a Nikon but can't justify the additional cost. The Plustek does all I expected of it albeit slowly. |

| 593187 | 2008-01-29 22:08:00 | I am using a Plustec 7200 unit and am scanning some 4000 slides mostly taken in the early 1960's. I was really shocked to find how much the slides had deteriorated in the last 5-7 years. Many have developed serious colour shifts despite having been stored in the dark and many are showing what I assume is a fungus attack which is effecting the emulsion surface. My slides were also mainly taken in the 1960s and are still in perfect condition. For the benefit of others who may be storing old slides I suggest mine have kept good because I have always had the use of a good cold garage where I stored them. I worry when I see Classic Motorcycle mags etc advising people a warm dry atmosphere is needed for storage. NO! warmth means faster chemical reactions - hence more corrosion. Keep them cold is my advice. Tom |
