Dear Jan,
although I am not sure about the scanner you mentioned, my experience with my
flatbed HP (hieh end) scanner + transparancy adapter was a disaster. It wouls
seem that dedicated film/slide scanners are much better. for using mutliple
format, have you looked at the Nikon LS4500 AF multi format scanner?
