Hi Gene:

I would recommend the Epson 2450. It has USB-2 and Firewire connections.
Scans prints, transparencies, negatives up to 4" x 9" @ 2400 dpi optical. I
got it to scan 120 B/W & color negs. Comes with Adobe Elements and
SilverFast SE, along with Epson Twain 5.0 and Epson SmartPanel. I does a
fantastic job for me. Price $399 retail down to $350 +/- street. I would
recommend a minimum of 512 MB ram and a 20G+ Hard Drive using Firewire. The
scanner is supported by Hamricks VueScan program also.

My 3 cents . . .
Mike Demyan

as a news photog. Plus a ton of color slides. All of these mostly from the
1980s.

the PrimeFilm 1800i film scanner. I believe it was Fred who, earlier said
something about these looking great on the computer but printed out...ugh! I
now know that's true.
