Flat bed scanner
Hi, I want to know from EPZ people what they think is the best for quality and ease of use flat bed scanner. I intend to buy one that is capable of scanning both 35mm and 120 7 X 8cm negs. Also will capture images from pictures. I know that it is possible to pay many thousands of pounds for them but I was hoping to pay around £150 to £180 for one. I have looked on different websites and at the moment I'm tending to go for a canon or epson. I'm not bothered if it is new or secondhand. It is for domestic use and not industrial use. So which one do you think is the best.

I thought you got dedicated ones for 35mm film negs;
Wow 120 7 X 8cm negs that is massive.
I'm assuming 1200dpi would be not much for 35mm film.
Lomography make a cheapish adapter so that your mobile phone scans negs, but I'm assuming you need much more quality/throughput

Epson V500 !.......I use one for slides, 35mm & 120 film negs. & the glass platen will cover A4 !!....can't fault it !
But be prepared for lots of cloning out dust, hairs, & scratches afterwards....& if you've used hi-speed film watch the grain show
up like boulders !!.

Another vote here for the v500.
