scanners
I am new to all of this, especially 'film scanning', but I was wondering if there were scanners out there that could scan negatives as well as prints (I guess a film scanner and flatbed scanner, as well). I am not looking for anything on the professional level, but before I buy a film scanner for my own fun, I wanted to see if there were any 'all purpose' scanners. Thanks, Doreen

Doreen, I have never used a film scanner, but after going on Staples.com I found a couple of flatbed scanners that scan negs. Visioneer One Touch 8920 for $129.98, and Hewlett Packard Scanjet 3570C for $149.99. Just take a shopping trip and ask a few questions at the store. I don't know where your from, but try a large office supply, or electronics store ( like Best Buy ), you should find just what you need.

The Hewlett-Packard S20 Film scanner goes for 350-400 now (was originally $500). It scans prints up to 4- by 6, 35-mm slides (Kodak cardboard mounts only) and 35-mm negatives. I've used it and like it for negatives. For a flatbed to scan 35-mm, I suggest you find someone who has one and see for yourself. I'm rather skeptical, although I am hearing good things about Epsons in the $400 and up range.
