Negative scanning I have a PF3600 film scanner and I swear that the quality is not up to scratch, other than the scratches. Am I being a fool, I just feed the film in at the top and scan on best quality and I swear it's not as god as from a flatbed!

My 3600 always loses contrast, and feeding film strips is a nightmare - I wish I had bought a Nikon Coolscan!

There is a lot of technical talk and a lot of BS in this scanning debate. I had a friend of mine with an HP film scanner do a test scan at resolutions from 300 to 2400 dpi. I scanned the print on my Canon flatbed at 600 dpi and my scan was sharper than every one of his. I purchased a different brand of film scanner at 2400 dpi and returned it. Another friend told me he uses a film scanner that cost him US$1800. He has good results. I think that the lower priced models are over-rated as to performance. I have not seen one that can compare to the results I get with my flatbed, scanning prints. If there is a better model, I would like to know about it as well.
