filmscanners: flatbed for contact-sheets
I've just bought Agfa Arcus 1200 flatbed scanner (about $ 800).
The scanner will be used for archival scanning of photographs, but I also
chose this one because it is able to scan slides with a glassless film
holder. And you can make contact-sheets with it.
It's transparency area is 8x10". I've already made several contact-sheets
from my negatives lying the acetat-sleeves on the glass bed and I must say
it works fine. You only have to scan two halves of the sleeve and then
combine them in Photoshop. Really no problem.
It's dmax is 3,2 and it really shows. No comparison with Epson
1200/1240/1640 as far as noise level and sharpness go.
