Hi All:
I have a few thousand old 35MM slides that I'd like to scan into my
compooter. Obviously, I don't want to do this one by one. I'm thinking of
getting a used (via eBay?) scanner with a slide attachment for this
one-time-only job. Any recommendations as to what models I should look for?

I like the Nikon scanners; you'll need the Super Coolscan 5000 (or the older
Super Coolscan 4000) plus the slide feeder SF210 (or older SF200). I'd
recommend the newer SF210 slide feeder; it has an adjustable gate that can
significantly reduce the likelihood of jams.
If this is a one time job; you might consider renting one if there's a
photo rental company in your area. Most often, these are photo stores which
cater to the pro.

Thanks James:
I've just bought a 4000 ED on an eBay auction. (Will go for a slide feeder
next.) In effect, I AM renting the unit as the plan is for me and two of my
friends to scan our slides and then resell the unit.
