RE: Scanner recommendations?
Yep, I know the product very well, I have the full version for my old 2450. It has served me good, especially for color negatives. (In my limited knowledge, it's unbeatable in that aspect!) Currently I just use the scanner software to get the most RAW data from my B&W negatives and handle the rest in LR and/or PS (I'm very satisfied with this work flow), plus, I don't shoot color negatives anymore. Therefore, Silverfast is overkill for my current needs. I won't be wet mounting, it's too much hassle for my liking. Thanks for the suggestions anyway.

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.
