Hi David

We bought an Epsom V500 last year from H.N. for about $450 and it does an 
excellent job on slides and old colour and b/w photos (we haven't tried 
negatives yet) and it comes with a host of different sized holders. The  ICE 
software that comes with it does a really good job of cleaning up scratches, 
dust marks and colour blemishes.

It is quite slow if you use the highest definition scanning

Regards  Allen
