Scanning Slides and Negatives

[accessys at smart.net]

I used a similar type of system to digitize my old 8mm movies and while 
acceptable there is a noticable loss of quality.  doing a optical copy 
adds another step to the process and there is always some loss whenever a 
copy is made, digital to digital is by far the least effected by this but 
any optical process has a significant loss.

BTW Vuescan and the Nikon scanner will do RAW or Jpg as well as a couple 
other formats such as TIFF.
