we just got one
at work, but I haven't had a proper chance to use it yet.
First, the HP
software REALLY sucks - but we have it running on Vuescan
now.
A quick look at
some of the B&W neg scans (medium format) shows it to be doing a good job.
In the next week
I should be able to get my hands on it - so I'll let you
know.
BTW - in the past
I have scanned image transfers on an older Agfa 600dpi flatbed and got great
results.
I also enlarged
them in PS and printed on Arches (and some other watercolour) paper and got
GREAT results. No I can run off numerous prints of them that look and feel darn
close to the originals!

User reviews of the HP 7400c scanner would be
appreciated. I'm looking to copy polaroid transfers (approx. 3" x 5" --
from 669 color pack film) and to make distribution CD's of my B&W
work. In additon, I'd like to be able to make scans of 35mm and 645
transparencies for proof prints and enlargements to 13"x19" size. Yeah,
cost does matter. This machine seems like a pretty good
compromise.
