I've a stack of undeveloped film in the fridge and am debating whether to get it all developed with mini prints/contact sheets and buy a scanner to do something with the good ones or to just ask the shop to do it all and choose on the computer. I can get one of those plustek ones for fifty quid more than it'd cost to get the whole lot scanned... Is it worth the investment? I have a Klasse I plan to use a whole lot more...
Also weren't you tiki? Thought I had replied to the wrong person!

..yea, I was; I'm just playin' around..
I would say yes of course, it's worth the investment - especially if you know that you're going to shoot a lot of 35mm in the future.
Keep in mind though that scanning is a rather fiddly, time-consuming task (if shops over here wouldn't ask so much for proper scans I'd definately let them do it), also see if your scanner comes with a proper scanning software (mine came with a "pro" version of SiverFast, which is much annoying to use, still a very capable program) - check this beforehand, as it might be expensive to buy later, and / or check if the scanner is compatible with VueScan.
Good luck, and have fun with the Klasse!

Define relatively cheap.
The one I use, a "QUATO IntelliScan" (same as "Plustek") is supposedly very good for the price.
It's a dedicated 35mm negative scanner. Do you want this? Or flatbed / other formats as well?
