Re: Scanner recommendations?
Lois . . .VueScan is excellent, and to be honest, I've not used it for
years. SilverFast though
has some unique aspects of multiple scans to improve sharpness. Also
the V750 is actually
designed to use fluid in the scans there are sites on the web showing
how to use a wet
scan w/the V700. However, do check out the somewhat complicated
SilverFast web site and
perhaps contact and chat with them . . . it is very good product.

I'm planning to purchase a V700 soon, to be able to make good
quality scans

reviews
about the scanner are very favourable; I remember reading that
results are
in par with dedicated 4000dpi Nikon film scanner. (I find hard to
believe
that! OTOH, with 6x7 negatives it isn't that much important since I
won't be
needing a performance above 2800-3000dpi at all...)
I don't need full version SilverFast (since I use/prefer Vuescan)
and the
anti-glare glass (since I will be scanning - relatively - low DR
negatives,
not high DR positives) features of V750, BTW.

Simply put the money spent would be wise to go for the V700 and use
kami
fluid . . period.

There have been quite a few posts on printers recently, but I need a
new scanner :-(
I want an A4 flatbed which can also scan both 35mm & 120 film. Cost
is
an issue but I am looking for new rather than used because it needs
to
work with Windows 7 64-bit and older models may not have up- to-date
drivers. I've had Epson before and a quick check on their web site
suggests the Epson Perfection 4490 as their cheapest which fits the
bill. Any thoughts/alternatives?
Thanks
