Hi,
I've been skimming the recent threads on microfiche scanning with some
interest. Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried scanning
microfilm/microfiche with a film scanner?
Just interested, because VueScan (free trial from
www.hamrick.com, $50 for
the basic licence, $90 for the 'professional' licence) seems to have a setting
for microfilm scanning. Unfortunately I don't have any microfilm to try it
out, but my film scanner (a Minolta DiMAGE Scan Dual IV) only takes mounted
35mm slides and 35mm strip film, so anything I put in would have to meet those
size constraints...
I could (in theory at least) bodge up a cardboard carrier for my flatbed
scanner (an Epson Perfection 2400 Photo) and use that, but I don't rate its
optical quality for transparency film very highly.
I was just curious if anyone had considered trying it... I'd love to but
like I said, I haven't got any film to test with.
