I have for a long time planned to digitize a fair portion of my Kodachrome slides. Has anyone used or know of scanners that produce results worth having?
I would also be interested in knowing how cumbersome they are to use, since the plan would be to push several thousand slides through. My slides are all framed, but I have frames both with and without glass.

For more quicker, the Epson v700 & v750 are the way to go.
i can't comment on the software side of things (which will really speed things up with auto-detecting edges and whatnot), but the tray can take 4 lots of 6-long negatives, so 24 frames, in a single pass. Not as many for mounted slides, but probably 16 in one go (i've got the slide-mount frame somewhere I can check in the morning).
Or consider one of those places that will charge $0.50 per frame or whatever and multiply by number of frames and add in how long it would take you to scan yourself, it might be cheaper to pay someone...
An awful lot of electrons were terribly inconvenienced in the making of this post.
