EPSON 2450 vs. AGFA Duoscan Hi-D in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing Posted November 5, 2002 I am contemplating purchase of flatbed scanner to archive thousands of prints, negs and some slides. I will also use this in my graphic design business thus the need for flatbed capabilites. The negs and slides are all 35mm and my future shooting will continue in this format until i upgrade my EOS equipment with a digital body. I am working in the Mac OS 10.1.5 OS and am looking for equipment that can or will work in that environment. In my own research I have become enamored of the Epson 2450, then I found this forum and it would seem my excitement was justified. However, I have had some experience with an AGFA Duoscan Hi-D and have the option of picking one up for about the same price as the Epson. It comes down to a debate over scan resolution v. Dmax since the epson has the greater of the former and the Duoscan has the greater of the latter. As I said before most of what I am doing is digital archiving for photos but there will be the desire to make prints occasionally as large as 13 x 19. Any one have any thoughts?
