RE: [Digital BW] medium format and epson 1280

2003-06-08 by Seth Rossman

If you are going to medium format as a quality issue, then flatbed scanning
your negatives isn't the way to bring them in.  There are plenty of used
Minolta and Nikon film scanners around that will give you much better
quality with less headache.

=epson 1280 using quadtones.

=Does anyone have experience with such a setup? Should I expect

=S20xi scanner on my 35mm negatives.
