There is no way around it. If you are scanning 35mm negs you need a film
scanner. A Nikon V is only about $600 and well worth it for what we do.
The degree of enlargement required from 35mm negs taxes the
capabilities of a flatbed. This is not just my opinion but that of
imaging specialists working in the field. The method I was taught
emphasized scanning into the system and then relying on Adobe
Photoshop for all editing needs. Even if you are doing b&w scan the
negs as rgb, work on the file and when done then convert a copy to
grayscale for the web or the print.
