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

Jerry,
have you actually compared (or seen any comparison of) scans from the
epson2450 vs. canon2400?

I strongly recommend you actually scan a typical slide/negative with the
brand of scanner you are going to buy before you buy it. I personally
have never seen a really crisp, sharp scan from any epson scanner,
especially with smaller negatives. But they do fine with the larger
negs, especially the 4x5. I don't think epson optics are in the same
league as canons.

Try before you buy, anyhoo.

Jer
