Nikon has film scanners that will do an entire roll. I think Canon does too. I have the Kodak RFS 3600 and though it gives excellent results with slides I find it has too many issues with film flatness (or lack thereof) to provide satisfactory results from negatives. Don't know anything about the PrimeFilm 3650 Pro. It's made by Pacific Image Electronics, the same company that OEM'd the Kodak RFS 3600, uses the same CCD but it's a different mechanical design. It may or may not have the same film flatness issues. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
