[LargeFormat] cheaper scanner for negs - some options?

[Pam Niedermayer]

You may want to check out the Agfa T2500 and some of the Linotype-Hell
models. A pretty good overview of available scanners is presented at
A1 Scanner Outlet (http://www.scanneroutlet.com/home.htm), who
actually recommended I not buy one they were offering because it
wouldn't suit my needs.
