[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I picked up an Epson 2450 so I could scan my 6 X 6 negatives and slides and it is just great! I generally scan MF at only 1200 dpi, but at 2400 dpi the MF negs and chromes come out really fine. 35mm stuff works great too, but it is a flatbed with a transparency adapter built into the hood so there is no provision for bulk scanning more than a couple strips of 35mm film (or a few mounted slides). I picked mine up brand new for a whopping $340 + $25 shipping and I love it. The software is great, it works with VueScan too, and I love the images I get from it. It will also scan 4 X 5, btw. Shutterbug had an excellent review of it a month or two ago. Cheers! - - marc Nathan Wajsman wrote: >You can actually scan MF. I just bought an Epson 2450 flatbed scanner for >exactly that purpose.
