I'm digitising my slide collection. I've put about 300 35mm slides
through a Nikon LS2000, and that worked pretty well, however some of my
slides are 126 format. They are in a 2x2 mount, but the image in the
middle is square. The side of the square is longer than the short axis
of a 35mm slide, so the LS2000 cuts the edges off. My images are 26mm
square (Kodak mounts) or 27.5 (Agfa mounts)

Can anyone recommend a decent scanner that I can beg/borrow/lease/buy
and resell on eBay/steal to do the job?

I'm on a PC, and have USB, Firewire and SCSI-2.

I've seen John Corliss's questions, however he's talking about
negatives; I have mounted slides.

Thanks
Andy

It is possible to scan 126 slides or Negatives with a Canon 8400F flatbed
scanner.
