Thanks, Art.  The Minolta and a refurb Nikon LS-30 were the ones that most jumped out at me.

If that's $500 US, I suggest you consider the Canon FS-2710 or Minolta Dimage Dual II, both under $500 new.

Used or refurb, you might find a Nikon LS-30, which has only one advantage I can think of, which is digital ICE, a method for suppressing dirt and scratches on the surface of color or chromographic (color film based) B&W films (doesn't work on regular B&W negs or very well on Kodachrome.)

The Canon and Nikon use a SCSI interface, the Minolta a USB.

Image quality is quite similar overall.  The Canon and Nikon use a 2700 dpi CDC, the Minolta 2820 dpi.

Sorry if this is a often asked question, but what 35mm film scanner does the list recommend for $500 or so?  Refurbished units don't scare me if they have a warranty.
