<p>I have decided to start using some of my old film cameras again. I will shoot B&W and color, process the B&W myself but send the color stuff out. 2 questions<br> 1. I'm looking at two 35mm film scanners, the Pacific Imaging Prime Film XA and the Plustek OpticFilm 8200i Ai Film scanner .<br> Has anyone of you used the Pacific Imaging XA, it is new and a search of the internet has not come up with any user/purchaser reviews.<br> OR can you suggest a good quality 35mm scanner for up to $600?</p> <p>2. If you digitally scan a film negative and import it into Light room, can one edit the image as a raw file, or is that a really silly question. (If it is, please explain, why...or suggest an article to read, I'm new to this sort of business.<br> Thanks, and best regards, John Ciccone </p>
