Curtis,
Canon 9900F - excellent machine with very good performance for document 
scanning 
(paper or photos)up to DIN A4 , very good with negatives, good with slides 
(post 
processing essential).Quite a selection of masks for various formats 
supplied 
with the scanner, these are a bit fiddly to use, software package is pretty 
good 
too. Not exactly brilliant for 35mm film strips. I've heard that the newer 
model
has an asph. lens and is even better.
