No we use a Kodak scanner that costs about 4x as much. I don't think the scanner will be a problem in this case. It doesn't have much competition in that price range, though the new Minolta 4000 dpi scanner sounds pretty good, and only costs a few hundred more. They have special software for removing scratches and dust, but I suspect they also reduce sharpness. I've never had any problem with minute scratches. Photoshop can fix the ones you see. If you handle your negatives carefully that is. As soon as you pull them off the reels, get them into sleeves. Use cotton gloves if you must. But prevention is the best option.
