Thanks very much for that Johnny.
I am looking at the Epson 2450 and the Canoscan D2400UF for MF
scanning. Amateur Photographer did a review (albeit a rather skimpy
one) of the Canoscan and judged it to be excellent. But the Epson is
a little cheaper and has a Firewire connection, so I was very glad to
have a review to read.
