I'm looking for a slide scanner but DON'T want to spend BIG bux for a prefessional version. Any suggestions?
And I've seen a lot of flatbed scanners on the WWW that pop up when I search on "slide scanner", but most just seem to be hyped up flatbed scanners tweaked towards scanning photos rather than documents, like
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Sub...
I've also seen flatbed scanners with an add-on attachment for scanning slides and negatives. But how well do they deal with the thickness of the slide mounting to get a sharp focus, and/or slides with warped film?
I'm hoping to spend $250 U.S. at the VERY most, preferably less. Yes, the economy is not good here, either....

I have an old flatbed Canoscan D1250U2F that does an adequate job with slides with no problems with the slide mounting. It does use a simple add-on attachment. Warped film could be a problem getting a sharp focus even with expensive scanners. The cost of similar Canoscan models to mine should be well under $200. U.S.
