Hi Tina,

My checking out this scanner again is simply to have a fallback position in 
case the scans I get from my local lab are problematic.  I passed my film 
scanner on to my son, so I no longer have that capability.  The old Epson 
2450 is great as a print scanner, document copier, etc., so I plan to keep 
it around, and it would be nice to occasionally scan a negative.

I will try to find out the native resolution.  That is a helpful suggestion.

Ken R., well he always has an opinion................
