I spent a lot of time searching through this forum to find information about a film scanner. After 54 pages, I decided to simply ask.
My plan is to develop my own B&W negs, and scan them. I'd also like to scan color negs and slides. I've got an old Epson 3590 scanner that I've used to scan a few negatives, but found that the post processing to remove dust and scratches was a real pain. Apparently, there's something called ICE that's supposed to make this job a bit more bearable, so I'm thinking about getting a scanner with "ICE."
From my reading, the Epson V700 sounds like a good scanner, and is reasonably affordable. I want to make prints from the scans up to 16x20" - no larger. Is this the scanner I'll need to do this? Is there a better value out there that I've missed?
Any advice, suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated.
