Guys,

The lamp on the E2450 is a bit over 4-1/2 in. wide about 1/8in. less than
the image area of a 5 x 7. One problem you should be aware of scanning large
film, especially with the fixed-lamp scanners, is unevenness. It may be
noticeable in the long axis with some pictures. See a review of E2450 on my
web page.
