hi,
I know that scanning transparencies is a bit tricky.. a few years ago I had some 35mm transparencies scanned, they had been shot in very high-quality film (Kodachrome 64) with a professional camera, yet they came out AWFUL.. VERY high contrast.. I asked around (in this same group maybe) why this is, and it was explained to me it’s very hard to get transparencies to scan properly.. that you can never capture tonal depth in transparency, etc.. I’m hoping this has improved by now.. does this one look like a good one?

if not, what would you recommend? ideally I would like to purchase a scanner that is flat-bed but can also scan transparencies properly, if possible.. thank you very much…
