[Digitalarchivists] Fwd: back in business

[Vinay Pimple]

I don't know if I understand Brandon's problem. Is he just looking for 
any film scanner? If so, I am sure there are tons of those around. In 
fact, I have a simple Canoscan 600F, which is supposed to be a film 
scanner (comes with a small attachment). It does have some problems with 
35mm films from what I've heard. I can of course loan my scanner to 
Brandon for a week or two if that is what we wants. Or else, he can just 
check on Amazon or something. Perhaps, you want some special features 
Brandon. Can you clarify. If you want my 600F for a while, please check 
the reviews to make sure first that it is the kind of machine you need.
Hope this helps.
