My New Film Scanner

My Mom bought be a film scanner for my birthday this year. I spent a lot of time reading reviews and shopping around before deciding on a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual IV. It seemed to have the best features for the price range I was looking in. Setup was easy, configuring the settings to get the scans to look the way I wanted them too was a little bit frustrating but I think I have it all set now. I've scanned about 30 negatives so far, they're a little grainy and scratches show up like you wouldn't believe... but all in all it was a good value. I'll just be doing a lot of Photoshopping for the next... oh... ten years or so. I'm so glad I went digital... My husband has no idea how wonderful he is for buying me a kickass digital camera for Christmas. I love film... but once I'm done scanning these negatives (which I have thousands of) I don't think I'll be using it much any more. More pictures will be posted soon, I'm not scanning all these for nothing :)
