We are in the process of purchasing a new flatbed scanner (with a budget of
around $1000). Has anyone had success scanning color transparencies on a
flatbed, and if so, what brand and model scanner did you use?

How many museums are still using CTs as the "gold standard" for documenting
their collection? We have a fair number of 4 x 5 CTs, but are wondering how
useful it will be to purchase a scanner to scan them if CTs are becoming
less common due to digital media.

Any advice on the topic would be appreciated!
