steve_sharf1 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 <p>Re. my recent post on a perfect digital darkroom that I'm trying to design in a post above: Any suggestions on the best scanners for prints (best flatbed) to be combined with a drum scanner for film. An Epson 750 combined with a Nikon CoolScan 9000? Actually the 750 may not be big enough but which suggestions for the perfect set-up?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhooru Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 <p>Don't know about larger flatbeds, but the Nikon 9000 is a very good scanner, but it's not a drum scanner though it is a dedicated film scanner. I just got the 9000 and am really happy with it at this point. The next level up would be the Imacon scanners, and then you get into the drum scanners.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_hitchen Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 <p>At the risk of being corrected, I have read in several places that for scanning prints there is very little to choose between flatbeds as long as they have 48-bit colour depth. And the technology that separates the V750 from its (much) cheaper siblings is aimed at film scanning. If this is true (and you are already getting a drum scanner) then go can go cheap!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_sharf1 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 <p>I may use the 750 for larger format negatives as well.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
