I have a small USB slide scanner, Primefilm 1800i.   It is not terribly fast
and only does one slide or negative at a time.  But, it works great and
makes excellent scans:  http://www.scanace.com/en/product/1800i.php
It is an excellent choice for scanning 35mm negatives.

Here are a few specs on the scanner:
   Optical resolution: 1800 dpi.
   Interpolated resolution 19200 x 19200 dpi.
   Color depth 12-bit per channel.
   Preview speed: 10 seconds.
   Scan speed: 35 seconds.
   Dimensions: 10.5 x 6.54 x 2.60".
   Weight: 1.65 lbs.


The cheapest price on the scanner I found with an Internet search was
at:  http://www.digitalfotoclub.com  at $165.00

I bought it to scan in seven reels of 35mm slides...  I have done half of the
first reel so far.  Finding the time to do the scans is my problem, but maybe
things will slow down here at The NoSpin Group and I will have time to finish
this project this year.
