    <pre> Colleagues,

    The Preservation department at Penn State University Libraries is looking at purchasing a dedicated slide/film scanner. Our interest is in scanning 35 mm slides primarily, but we would like to allow for other transparent formats and, if possible, automatic slide feeders. The choices that we're reviewing include:

    Canon FS4000US Minolta Dimage Scan Multi II or Multi Pro Nikon Super Coolscan 4000Ed or Coolscan 8000 Polaroid SprintScan 120

    I was wondering if anyone has and is using any of these scanners, how well the hardware and software lives up to the claims, and your experiences with them (good and bad). Also, any tales about the Digital ICE3 software would be appreciated. Feel free to respond directly to my e-mail address mailto:(lrw5@psu.edu); I appreciate any and all information.

    Many thanks in advance!
