I will only be shooting in 35mm film but I will be shooting both black and white and color.

Should I be getting the film for prints or slides?

Should I scan a print or negative or slide?

Which scanner is best for the above techniques?

Thanks

You may use either print or slide film. Use a dedicated film scanner. Nikon has several and they are excellent. I use an el cheapo, but it only scans 1800 dpi, so it maxes out at about 4 Mp. This is ok for quick and dirty web shots and so on, but not for critical work in PS.
