Re: OT: scanning info for list photographers

Pam,

For scanning medium and large format I'm seriously considering the new Epson
1600 scanner. You could easily do 12"x12" print with 6x6 film and probably
twice that as well with little or no loss. Large format you would certainly
be all set. There been a lot of good comments about their older 1200 model.

I'm waiting to hear from others as soon as they get their Epson scanners and
as soon as I can comeup with a bit more money. :)
