[Leica] Scanner advice sought

[Aram]

Peter.  I use  my Epson Perfection 3200 and my Minolta Dimage Scan Dual II 
with Vuescan effectively with Windows 10. Download a sample of Vuescan and 
give it a try.  If you like the results of your 2400, you will not have to 
bet a new scanner.

I have just purchased a bellows and lens system with a film holder and have 
given it a preliminary trial.  Looks good, and when I have time I will try a 
bunch more.  It should give much higher resolution digital files and much 
faster than any scanner.  I'll keep you posted.

Richard's comments about his scanner is timely.

I am trying to scan old negs as a prelude to doing some film work. I had - 
and
used to use successfully - an EPSON Perfection 2400. However not having used 
it
for several years it failed to work properly when I tried it under W10, so I 
am
looking round for a new scanner to handle B&W 35mm film.

Anyone any suggestions?

Criteria: High quality and high resolution; able to handle strips as well as
rolls; accurate; must produce TIFFs as well as other formats such as JPEGs; 
good
tools desirable but not absolutely necessary given the present state of PS 
etc.

Thanks in advance,

Peter
