Let me know if you want to borrow it.
I'd love to please. Would it be possible to have it for a few weeks -
I've a lot to get through!
If it's as compact as it looks, perhaps I could have it on Tues or
Thurs, at UCL? Is anyone able to bring it there, from the office?

I remember a discussion on commons-l a while ago about negative
scanners. The Ion kit was considered better-than-nothing but not good.
OTOH, not many of the high-quality Nikon negative scanners around.
(Though that would be a *damn* fine piece of kit for the office.)
How good are the results from this Ion? Any example links?
I've several photographer friends, and they work with 'real film' every
now and then. Their approach in such cases is to use a camera mount to
photograph developed (negative) film and process that into digital
photos.
Fiddly, yes; but the results I've seen are very impressive, capturing
the feel of film photography without a lot of work developing actual
postive prints.
