John,

Find someone with a flat-bed scanner and get them to scan a negative. You
may be surprised that it is plenty good. A handful of drum scans cost as
much as a scanner. Check out the 2450 review on my web page. The $$
trade-off makes the difference in quality seem less important. I'll wager
only you and a loupe will see the difference in a print.
