I have a new toy, an Epson 2400 scanner:

It works. This is from a slide taken at the 2003 “Airventure” in Oshkosh, Wisconsin on the last day as many planes were departing. The Epson 2400 has a built in transparency adapter for 35mm film. What I really want is a real film scanner, but those cost a lot more than $150. This does seem to do the job. Eventually I’ll get a digital camera and have less need for film scanning anyway.

I use Linux. I had to edit the /usr/local/etc/sane.d/epson.conf file to get SANE to find it, using the info from sane-find-scanner, but once I did that xsane worked fine.

I’m sure I’ll have more to say about the scanner once I’ve used it more.
