Re: Film Adapter for the Epson Perfection 1640/1650

["Graham Max" <gtmax@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

You must make the distinction between the Epson 1650P ( which, as Don Dement
says,  has a built-in film adapter for 35mm film only ) and the Epson 1650
with the separate ( and extra cost ) film adapter lid B81317 which takes
film with various holders from 35mm up to 5" x 4". I have used this latter
arrangement for B/W negs and colour transparencies up to 6 x 7cm and have
been pleased with the results. The Epson 2450 is probably more convenient to
use, scans to a higher resolution, connects via USB 2.0 or Firewire and
costs little if any more than the 1650 + B81317 - unfortunately for me it
came on the UK market a few weeks after I bought my 1650 set-up. Anyone want
to buy me out so that I can upgrade to the 2450 ?

HTH,

Graham Max
