[Techtalk] hardware recomendations requested

I don't understand the question.  In order to get high quality scans of
a negative, I think you need a dedicated negative scanner.  Those are
pretty pricey, aren't they?  Is that what you mean by Kodak cds?  A
Kodak CD Scanner?  For $500?  No way!  Really?  If so, I'm buying one
tomorrow...
