Thanks everyone for your slide film recommendations.
I think I'll start by trying Astia. A friend with a Nikon 4000ED
(the scanner I'll be using) says this has a wide exposure latitude
and scans well.If I find it too flat then I'll try Provia next,
then Velvia last.

I have Silverfast 5.0 which came bundled with my Polaroid Sprintscan
SS4000. I never used Silverfast but decided to try it. I installed it
on my PC which has Windows 2000 Pro and it seems to work fine except
that I can't seem to tell it which frame to scan, it defaults to only
the first frame.
