OK ... now that you've gotten me to try my hand at film
photography, I need a scanner. Well, I have one now ... sort of.
I've managed to inherit an HP Scanjet G3110, which does have a
transparency carrier. Problem is, everything I've read about it says
it's not very good at scanning negatives. Apparently, the scans come
out pretty dark, owing to the fact that it's a flatbed scanner.
My question is, is it even worth my time to hook this thing up to my
PC? Or, do you suppose that the scans will be so bad that it'll end up
costing me money to replace the window I'll eventually throw it through?
Is there anything that can be done to maximize the performance of the
thing? I mean, I highly doubt I'd ever use it for anything other than
scanning negatives, so is there something I can do in the setup to
actually turn it into a relatively decent performer in that regard?
Thanks,
Walt

Got this film back from Walgreens a couple weeks back. I was really
excited to see a photo I'd made of my little town's Baptist Church.
I was disappointed when the scan came back really bad:

I pulled the neg out this morning to scan for myself and was happy to
find the photo much more like I'd imagined it:

I'm a happy camper.
