[QUOTE="STM, post: 408214, member: 12827"] Flatbed scanners do a decent job scanning negatives but they are a compromise. Your best quality will come with a dedicated scanner though not many high quality ones, especially in larger formats, are still made today. I use a Nikon Super CoolScan LS-8000. They are no longer made, but even used they are rather pricy ($2000 +/-). And they use a Firewire connection and not USB. But the quality at 4000 dpi is superb, especially with 6x6 or 6x4.5. I use Nikon Scan 4.03 software, which is not supported past Windows XP (though you can 'trick" it with Windows 7 but with some loss of features) so I have an older IBM laptop with XP and built in Firewire as essentially an integral part of the scanner. The combination works perfectly. [/QUOTE]
