<p>I've been using Agfa Scopix IC1B. I shoot it at EI 80-100 & have been developing in paRodinal mostly. There are a couple of Scopix shooters posting in the flickr x-ray group.<br /> I've only done a few people with it and have been perfectly happy with the results. Landscapes/architecture without people seen to look quite post-apocalyptic (barren), but its an interesting look.<br /> robert<br>

Here are some i800 scanner samples @ 1200dpi

2 1/4 x 2 3/4" b&w negative scan (via microtek holder)

110 (10x17mm) b&w negative scan (via simple glass to weight down negs)

i800 scanner samples @ 1200dpi

http://www.pbase.com/neelin/gallery/test

2 1/4 x 2 3/4" b&w negative scan (via microtek holder)

110 (10x17mm) b&w negative scan (via simple glass to weight down negs)

I have a 6400XL (11x17) at work & a 4800 & Nikon LS4000

I like the ScanWiz Pro software, although I use Vuescan for my LS4000

Compared to those units, the i800 I have (just a week now), fusses & delays quite a bit (15sec?) after you press the scan button & before it starts moving the scanhead. The reflective I've been working on is great. The holders for transparency seem to work good. For the record, the lid has a removeable insert and becomes a moving light source for the scan-head when doing transparencies. Lamp-glass-transparency-glass-scanhead light path FYI. I sourced out a TMA (transparent media adapter) head for my 6400xl years ago but was never happy (i.e. TOTALLY USELESS)with the results (light flare messing the transparency scan). So far, I'm pleased with what's coming off the scanner.

I'm going to experiment on weighting down (with glass) 110 negatives as some results from last night were less than perfect.

The main reason for the purchase is to archive old, non 35mm negs & family prints that don't have negatives.

No comment on 35mm neg or slides yet(I have the LS4000).

Promising.
