Re: [Digital BW] Scanners for B & W

The 1640SU is a 4+ year old scanner, take the current model 3200!

I own a 1640SU and am guessing you'd be less than thrilled owning/using one!

  Subject: [Digital BW] Scanners for B & W


  As I continue to contemplate a good strategy for my existing B & W MF & LF
  negatives, and as Clayton Jones wisely suggested I consider a flatbed
  scanner to do this with as I learn the process. Can anyone suggest a good
  scanner for the purpose? Clayton suggested an Epson 1640SU which I
  understand is a 1600dpi scanner. I am seeing that Epson now has a 3200 dpi
  scanner. Since I am starting from scratch, I would like to know if others
  consider this a good way to go. What problems might I face, or to put it
  another way, what alligators live in this swamp?



  Many thanks in advance.



  Tony
