Hi Joe,

Thanks again for the detailed reply. I don't think I'll be buying a dedicated film scanner anytime soon, but this is all good stuff to know. I have a Canon 8400F flatbed that I've been using, mostly for proofs, but it does surprisingly well as long as the negatives aren't too thick. I think I'll download the trial version of Hamrick's Vuescan software and push this set up to it's limits before I consider upgrading.
