You might consider the Epson 4870. I did, for a day or two, then blew the
scanner budget on the Minolta 5400 instead. This is what Epson claims:
"With clarity and reproduction comparable to that of expensive dedicated film
scanners, this premium product provides the flexibility to automatically scan
and restore photos, transparencies, and more. Its built-in 6" x 9" transparency
unit accommodates film as large as 4" x 5" or up to twenty-four 35mm negative
images simultaneously. And, its superior 4800 x 9600 dpi resolution and
stunning 3.8 Dmax deliver intricate detail for phenomenal reprints and
enlargements."
When my bank account recovers, I may be tempted. I can look through my
thousands of trannies pretty easily, but the negatives, both color and B&W --
especially color -- are a whole 'nother thing.
