<< I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has used this scanner to scan
35mm film, particularly b&w negatives. How do your results compare to using
the same negatives to make 8 x 10 enlargements? Or to using a dedicated film
scanner? No doubt I'll wind up eventually "moving up," but right now I'm
looking for an intermim, relatively low-cost solution to managing this large
body of old stuff, and on paper the 2450 looks promising.

Thanks once again,

Hi David:

Consider the 1680 Pro($1000 or so if you don't need Firewire).  it is 
excellent and will scan a full sheet of negs quickly and with excellent 
detail.
