Is there a way to get a full frame 35mm scan (with black borders) using the
Nikon LS-2000? Has anyone experimented with filing out the neg carrier, as
one would a neg carrier on a standard darkroom enlarger?
Any help is appreciated.

In terms of taking 35mm film frames and scanning for snapshot size and
8 x10's any of the scanners you mentioned will do the trick.
In the under $400 US price range, the Minolta Dual Dimage II and Canon

Forgot to ask the why for this
1) make sure the firmware is version 4.1
Because it's the latest version of the firmware.
I have this exact same problem with my Minolta Scan Dual II. I can get to a
pretty good 'crop' image in Vuescan but the raw scans are generally very
washed out.

Send your work to a quality scanning shop. A minimum clue is

A small but perhaps important plus with the Canon is that the slide/neg is vertical as
it sits in the scanner, so dust is less likely to settle on it.

I haven't had prints done by Bill, but at a trade show
last year I saw examples of his work, and can
absolutely vouch for the quality of his output. He had

he'll be doing my big prints.
