I have been looking at film scanners and may be interested in the Microtek.
I would use it with 645 negatives and transparencies, as well as with 35mm. Are 645 adapters available? I have some other questions as well, but am still trying to make up my mind as to whether I am really interested. If I do this, the simple aspect of physical space and ports available would make it very unlikely that I would also get a 35mm scanner anytime soon . . . If you don't get any other takers, let me know more about it and I will think about it.
