Yes, I was able to use it in Xsane-Gimp to scan 35mm colour negative and slide film. I've done some superficial checking on the adjustments for film type and gamma and they seem to work OK. Haven't checked on modifying the resolution yet. One thing - getting it onto the scanner database seemed to need two passes of Scannerdrake. The first time it said OK, you can now use the scanner, but in fact, on re-running, it wasn't saved on the database. The second time, Add a scanner manually, select 2700F from Canon, click and hold on choose device to select /dev/sg1 did the trick (Maybe I should have gone straight to this in the first place - I haven't checked). Don't know if that would be any use to you. Thanks for your help in getting me here! DougB
