[ubuntu-uk] Film scanning

[Matt Jones]

I have been volunteered to help my gran to scan all her old
slides/negatives etc for safekeeping and as a way of getting cheaper
prints. My current scanner isn't up to the task, despite working
beautifully with Ubuntu. Does anyone have any recommendations for a
suitable unit that will work out of the box? It needs to deliver a
reasonable quality and also cope with quite a lot of material! Cost
isn't too important, but sub £100 would be nice, used is fine if they
don't make the model anymore.

Thanks in advance,
Matt.
