Pål, I had the same needs as you. A while back, I bought the Epson 2450 hoping that it would do the job scanning my MF stuff. The price was reasonable compared to the regular MF film scanners. My experience with it was a bit mixed. I wasn't getting the kind of quality out of the scans that I thought I should. I ended up returning it.
Later JCO got the same scanner and was having much better luck with it than I did. I did some reading on the web and found that there had been some QC issues and some units were working well and some were behaving more like mine. I recently decided to give it another try and ordered another one (Epson 2450). I have been using the supplied software (Epson Twain and Silverfast SE) instead of the Vuescan that I normally use. I can say that I am having satisfactory results this time and have been able to scan and print as I had hoped. I suspect that this is the only game in town at a reasonable price point.

There's an Epson something (is it called 2450?) that's generally recommended. However, I've read somewhere that this model is about to be replaced with PJ> a model that scans at higher resolution. Any information and experiences with sort of things? PJ> Pål
