The scan quality is fine for me, it does prints, 35mm film, slides, medium format, and even large format (4X5). It has USB and FireWire - I use the FireWire myself and it is a screamer (fast, that is). The software is great - even on Windows it does not crash (believe it or not!). VueScan even works with it. If ou only need 35mm film / slide scanning, it is probably better to get something else, but the 2450 is like a jack-knife - it does it all very well. And it is cheap. How many FireWire scanners can you name for $340 USD? Here is a link to the best price: http://store.yahoo.com/dealcat/ep24photscan.html Here is an example 35mm scan (M6 / 50 Cron, 100 VS): http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=609500 And here is a 6X6 negative scan (Rollei 6008 on Fuji NPS): http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=607624 Finally, another 35mm slide scan (R4 70-210 f4, 100S): http://www.leica-gallery.net/attinasi/image-24980.html Cheers - - marc Ted Bayer wrote: >Also the Epson 2450 which has had some very good write-ups -- in >February issue of Shutterbug, and recently posted here by Andrew Nemeth >with the link: > >http://www.virtualtraveller.org/epson2450.htm > >And Mark Attinasi posted this link where he found one for about $350: > >www.dealcat.com > >Hope this helps. > >Ted in Olalla > - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
