Hi
I am just trying film again after about 15 years. At the moment just getting the negatives developed and scanned by Filmdev.
However, I have a large archive of 120 and 35 photos - mostly slides, that I *could* look to start digitising if I can be bothered.
There is talk in other threads of the Epson V550 being a good, reasonable cost choice. So, this has led to to ask if anyone knows of any resource that lists other older Epson flatbed models that work for 120 slides and negatives, with a view to picking one up quite cheaply?
Of course I don't want to start with a clumsy machine that will put me off as I know that scanning is already time-consuming.
End use probably just to stare at on the computer but could venture into 16x20 prints maybe.
Also, with colour *negative* scanning, does the Epson software do the inversion easily, i.e. do you end up with a good 'positive' image to start with?
Thanks
Lee
