Digital BW, The Print

If you can avoid the Epson flatbeds and still pay your rent I would.  I have a 2450 (previous to the 3200) and the underside of the glass is not user cleanable.  It can develop a haziness which makes the scanner useless.  The local Epson authorized repair shop doesn't seem to understand what I mean by clean.

For 6x7 it is a reasonable thought still somewhat soft scanner.  Useless for 35mm.
