I use the Epson scanning software in professional mode. I use the standard Epson negative carriers. Nothing fancy. I access the scanning software as a PhotoShop plug in, and make final adjustments in PS. Here's a scan of a ten year old TMY 400 neg that I made last night: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8619706
And here's 100% detail: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8619710

I shot this with the LX, BTW. The lens was probably the SMC 85/1.8..

I like the looks of that Epson quite a bit. Do you use the Espon software or do you use a third party option?

I don't know how good the Canoscan is, but I know the Epson flatbed photo scanners are quite good. The latest version is the Perfection 4490 Photo Scanner. It retails for $149. I have a Perfection 3200, and it does a good job on 35mm negs and transparencies. The 4990 is better.

Has anyone any experience with the Canoscan 4400? It's only about $100. I know the quality probably wouldn't be the greatest, but the primary purpose of this scanner would be low-res scans for the web that look better than what Wal-Mart does.
