Agree with nplus... don't buy a fladbed scanner with transparency film adaptor ujnless you find a second hand Heidelberg Saphir Ultra 2. This one and the later models like the 1200 FireWire from Heidelberg-hell are the only onmes i've seen that lead to decent results. BTW a good film scanner is the Nikon's CoolScan 2000 and the 4000 one. My advice is for the 4000 but costs nearly 1500 and does ONLY the 35mmm. The only scanner that could be interesting to do 4x5, and 6x6 is the Kodak but costs more than 8000... =P No budget 4x5 scanners... and no budget 35mm ones... if you are looking for something that workz anyway Microtech scanners are good enough and has nice ColorSync profiles (if ya have a mac o'corz), thay are costly anyway... but a bit less than Nikon ones. The cheeper solution is the last EPSON scanner with transparency film cover... 1660(?), don't remember exactly... it's not bad... but absolutely not a professional one... =I
