At some point in the near future I'll be buying a scanner. I have browsed the last thread on this subject, including http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html, the TWiKi and the SANE site. From these it looks like the Epson 1260 photo is a good choice. The thing is a good part of the work I'm buying this thing for is proofing B&W 35mm film. The only comment I found about film scanning, for any scanner, was one of the comments on the 1260, (I think on the SANE site or link therefrom,) that the Linux support for film gives poor quality. Is this an obsolete comment? Does anyone on the list have experience of this scanner with film? Does anyone have any alternative suggestions or comments?
(I know a higher res scanner would be better, or even a dedicated film scanner, but I don't want the price to be much over £100, and I can't justify two devices.) Thanks, -- Richard Urwin
