What sort of res does said scanner need to produce? I have a 1200

clue where to start.

I have a Reflecta x7-Scan

From http://www.photographyblog.com/news/reflecta_x7/

junk.

Sure! This one has more features...

And eight times more expensive :-)

That machine was not available at the time I bought my X7, or I would
have considered it. There are new offers with time. But at that price it
is possible I would have passed.

Do you happen to know brand and name of it? I fail to locate that info
in the link, and I can't read the details in the photo.

At 5.1MP and the price the reseller puts on it would put in the fraud
category, IMO! It's a KlarStein though!

Wait, 5.1 MP and 665.58€? The x7 is 14 MP and 118€. I read it wrong, it
is worse than mine, and way more expensive. It should be about 60€, so
you are right, it is a fraud.

Amazon has it here, no price given (unavailable). I don't read German to
see the item description.

much better results can be had using a modern digital camera and a copy
attachment, such as this:

sing-the-new-es-2-digitizing-adapter

since it attaches to the lens, it will work with more than just nikon.

Kinda expensive since you need a macro lense to begin with...

Indeed.

Yes. I have a Plustek dedicated film scanner that I think is kinda of
good value if you get Vuescan Pro as third party scanner ware. This one:

If you want to scan prints too then Epson seem to have most happy users.
The Perfection V600 Photo appears to be, per specs the best value if you
have to compromise on price.

Right, there are very good negative scanners around. Mine is just a
quick inexpensive method that works fine for my needs.
