Hi!
Bill, from your response and from other responses I gather that Epson
2450 is a satisfactory film scanner, even for 35 mm film. It is not
top quality, but I suppose to expect a top film scanning quality

I am given the opportunity to buy Epson 2450 scanner (flat bed, but
seems to be the only reasonable one for scanning the film) for $250.
It is about one year old, one owner.

My purpose of using it would be to eliminate

Boris,
If the film you are planning on scanning is 35mm, then the 2450 is not the ideal
scanner. Specially if you are planning on making prints from the scanned images.
I recently purchased a Microtek Scanmaker 5900. I purchased it primarily for
scanning 120 film. It does a fair job at that.

OTOH, at the moment I am struggling with
Boris.
My reply earlier to you went missing.I tried Veuscan trial version
last night and it looks like it might work well with the
2450(35 mm BW and Colour looked ok.
It scanned about the same time lenght as Epson software,but Epson
tneds to crash on me with big files.The vuescan did not.
For
Boris,
Have you considered ordering from BH in New York? My own experience
and those of friends leads me to believe that they are very honest,
efficient, and reliable.
I am saying this because I have recently been scanning 35mm negs with a
flatbed scanner and it is a VERY time consuming
Michael,
I have both the Epson 2450 and the Minolta Scan Dual II Film scanner.
I have not found either to be significantly faster than the other. The
only real advantage that I see right now is by using Vuescan for
speed. It can handle batch scans on the Minolta.
The path Boris is planning on
Thanks Bruce,
I thought maybe the film scanners would have some software to fix the
dust and scratches. Trying to fix all that stuff in PS is what is
taking me so much time. It's very tedious.

Hi Boris;
Your reasoning is fine. If your needs are modest and you can get your return
on investment in a year then go for it. As far as reliability I have owned
an Epson 636 scanner for nearly 4 years now with no trouble. Flatbeds are
generally reliable and should last for years.

Michael,
I have found that the Epson 2450 does a better job on that front than
the Minolta film scanner. I believe that the diffused light source in
the lid makes the difference. I have taken some dirty slides and
found that on the Epson they are not nearly as bad. Probably 2-3
times cleaner.
