Digital BW, The Print

Er ... isn't the Epson 2450 42 bit device rather than 48?

  Subject: [Digital BW] Flatbed scanners with film adaptors - good, bad, or ugly?


  Group,

  A dedicated film scanner would be great to have, but is beyond my 
  needs and means.

  While shopping for a new flatbed scanner, I came across two that 
  feature built in film adaptors capable of scanning any film or 
  transparency - up to 4x5" for the Canon D2400UF CanoScan and up
  to 6x9" for the Epson Perfection 2450 Photo Scanner.  Both feature
  2400x4800 dpi 48 bit scans, street price around $400.

  Does anyone have experience with these or similar scanners?  How do 
  they compare with dedicated film or drum scanners?  Are they close 
  quality wise, or is this too good to be true?

  As for my personal requirements, I'm an amateur photographer with 
  35mm, 6x6, and 4x5 negatives and transparencies.  No pro or fine art 
  print sales here, but, I do appreciate fine prints, both color and 
  b&w and seldom print larger than 11x14.  All my new photos are with 
  a 4 mega pixel Canon G2, RAW file format post processed - I'm 
  pleased with the results.

  Thanks for any input.
