[LargeFormat] cost of scanning question

[Kent Gibbs]

 I have an Epson 2450 Photo scanner that does very well scanning 35mm
to 4"x5".  It has a cold light in the lid and there are three film
adapters that hold the various films. Scanning at the highest
mechanical resolution for B&W film, I get 96 megabyte files.  While
these are not up to drum scanning, they are more than adequate for my
purposes.  It is slow but it works.  See also a previous post from me
regarding making paper negatives from these scans.
