Thanks for viewing : I use an old Epson 1650 flatbed I was given by a fellow Camera Club member -- it has a strip light above the glass and my friend made a cardboard thing to take 6x6 medium format but it was a lot of trouble getting the scanner to find 6x6, then I WON FREE the 'Vuesan Pro' software from Ed Hamrick in USA and that works much better than the Epson software and I can scan 6x6 and 6x7 format as well as the 35mm ..... I usually check in PhotoShop 7 after the scans, which come out as 'TIFFS' and resize down a bit to JPegs for putting on Forums . I do not print from Negative scans-- it is much easier to put the negs into my enlarger and do darkroom prints and get better results ! Hope this all helps --- peter.
