I have a Epson 2450 which slowly makes very good scans including 35MM. I almost always shoot 2 1/4, both negative and positive, and the scans are wonderful.

> I'm considering picking up a new HP flatbed scanner that comes with a transparency adapter. Although I don't shoot a heck of a lot of slides these days, I do have quite a few from days gone by that I would like to get into the digital realm to make some inkjet negs for gum printing.

So my real question is more about thequality of the transparency adapter on a flatbed vs. a true slide scanner or a drum scan. Am I going to be losing anything here?
