Hi everyone, I hope you don't mind a dumb question....but I have been thinking about getting a new scanner, and actually this film scanner sounds great...especially the price...but it does both B & W and color? I actually want it for B&W, to do "proofs", before I decide which negatives are worth printing....saves a lot of time. I don't want to invest in the high quality printer you would need to due color prints, and I don't want to get into color darkroom work either! So this would work OK for B & W proofs? Thanks! Mike Steele
