I would think that 1 slide target would be sufficient because you are
calibrating the scanner as a whole once, not 2 separate calibrations - one
for Kodachrome and one for Ektachrome.
I think, however, that you would be wise to also purchase the 5X7 Ektacolor
target, to compare to your monitor af
I don't know about the Acer but my Microtek ArtixScan 4000t (now it is
already working well again!) came with the Q60-E3 slide and the
corresponding profiling software bundled and included in the price. I think
that the color targets are useless unless you have the profiling software

I have a Scanwit 2720s, with which I am well pleased. It's
much the best budget scanner, by all accounts.
However, even with Ed Hamrick's Vuescan (a nearly essential
$40 accessory for most scanners) you can exert only limited

A few things to think about in the project of scans.
What is your goal? Color accuracy of the current state of the slide or good looking
scans that may not reflect the original scene.
The main disadvantage with the ScanWit is the exposure is fixed, vuescan does not very

I've found that my Scanwit 2720S does a really good job on well-exposed
slides and negs, and i
