My scanner, a Canon 8400F, is crap for color print film. The colors are awful, but I think this is probably due to Canon's horrid software, rather than the hardware. Black and white film, 35mm or 120, is easy to scan. Slides are a gamble. Dense slides are difficult at best. And some films, as I stated in another reply, are easier to scan than others. I have made 8x10 prints from 35mm scans that look fine on a wall. They don't hold up so well under a loupe. 120 is most definitely easier to work with but 35mm isn't impossible. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
