HI all,

I've just introduced myself into the 6x6-world by buying a Yashica TLR
(635); now I'm looking for a cheap solution to digitize the captures
from the Yashica.
There are a few interesting offers at the moment, one of them is an
Agfa Duoscan T1200. Price is about $50, so that's a real bargain. But
is it still worth the money or should I take another scanner into
consideration?

It's purpose is only for doing the 6x6 scans, for 35mm I've got the HP
Photosmart S20.
I'm not planning to create huge prints from the scans (max. 25x25cm),
I want to use it mainly for judging my 6x6-creations and Web-use.

Interested in any reasonable priced option (<$75) to create files out
of MF-slides.

Thanks,
Michael

I'll say it's a bargain. Be sure you get all the film holders, and
especially Agfa's software. Their software had a great library of negative
profiles and they did a very good job of scanning to proper color (and B&W).
Go for it. Fast.

Really sounds like a good deal for that amount. Be sure to get the film
holders, since they are hard to find, and can be expensive.

Should work out fine. There really are few good choices at that low a
budget. If you do not get the software with the scanner, AGFA still have
it available for download on their web site.

Ciao!
