This was a photo taken back in 2005 at Capitol Reef National Park. I'm getting around to posting it now because I've finally picked up a scanner to convert my significant film-based photos to digital.
I'm using the Wolverine F2D film to digital scanner. It is a standalone device, meaning that you don't have to hook it up to a computer unless you want to. It will let you see the image on a tiny LCD screen and stores the images on a 1GB SD card, which is included.
It will take some trial and error to improve my scans, but for a bulk scanning of hundreds of images, this is a pretty decent value. It takes roughly five seconds per negative to scan, compared with a minute or more on the Epson 1260 flatbed scanner (since discontinued but which still does an admirable job). I'd recommend the Epson V500, which is a good balance of quality and price.
Still, if I'm looking to scan an image larger than for the Internet or an 8x10, this isn't going to yield satisfactory results.
