I'm thinking of upgrading my flatbed scanner to one that has a page-size tranny adapter so that I can do digital contact sheets. (I sure wish Epson had thought of that when designing the 2450. :-( ) The idea is to be able to make low-res scans of negatives, preferably while they are still in the Printfile sheets. Is anyone out there successfully doing this? I'd hate to spring for the scanner only to find out that this won't work. The scanner would also be used for finish scanning of 645 and 6x6 negs and chromes, since I can't justify a Sprintscan 120 right now. I am thinking of a Umax Powerlook III or 1100, or a used Epson Expression 1600. I'm a little scared of the 1200x2400 dpi resolution of the Umax as being insufficient. Primary output would be on Epson 13x19" printers. I'd appreciate hearing any positive or negative feedback on these units, or of the concept in general. Lloyd - Turn off HTML mail features.
