I just purchased a new epson 4990 scanner. It replaced a 2450. I am also now using silverfast Ai. I can now scan my 8X10 negs. Scan at 1600 PPI 16 bit greyscale, 7.6 X 9.7 inch scan area =359 meg file. Time thru firewire is 4.25 min. My negs are keyed to new Azo #2, so they are pretty contrasty. Seems to handle them ok. Alot of members state thinner negs scan better. My 4X5 negs are keyed to a condenser enlarger. I'll see if they do better. I'm just playing with the stuff I couldn't before. I'm pretty happy so far.
