Something exactly like that. The Nikon software only works up to Windows Vista, not 7, so I use the scanner on my Vista laptop. No doubt there is an alternative scanner software that will work on Windows 7.

Carry on Algi, you might find it for £35 next!

I did pick up a couple of Pentax lens stands. Looked good when I did camera fairs. That one looks like a label stuck on, so not for me, but maybe someone...?

What's to be touchy about on a fine Sunday morning?

That's the same as the Summit just mentioned Algi, so well done finding it at such a low price.

Flat bed scanners can be used for film, but don't usually have enough resolution for small formats like 35mm. However, at that price you might think it's worth a go.

I have a Nikon Coolscan IV that does well for slides and negatives and a small, cheap Summit PhotoFix SPS that at £100 makes an adequate job for web of 110 and 35mm film.

For big prints you need proper scans. For web use something less may well be very acceptable.

Please remember that non-Pentax discussion is off topic on these forums. Many thanks.

No such thing really at that price. There are scannera around £100, but they are really only suitable for web size images or very small prints.

Otherwise, it's down to finding a Nikon Coolscan or something of that calibre.

It's a pity that there are no Pentax results, although I seem to remember a survey that indicated that customer satisfaction was actually quite high with Pentax.

It just confirms that nothing manufactured is perfect and free from all possible defects. And that things manufactured can and do fail.
