For about the same money you can buy one of the Epson
Expression 1680 models.  For less, you can get the Epson
Perfection 3200 with a ton of software.  

If you're scanning 35 mm film for the web or small prints, a
flatbed will be OK.  Serious enlargements demand a film
scanner.  An Epson flatbed will work well with MF film.

Subject: [filmscanners] Umax Film Scanners

It appears as though I am going to have to purchase a
35mm/medium format
film scanner.  I've been looking at the Umax 1120 w/RGB
software package,
which includes film holders for 35MM, 2-1/4 square, and
2-1/4x2-3/4, and 3.7
density range.  There is a dearth of information on the
quality and function
of these scanners.  Does anyone have enough experience with
one to be able
to comment on the advisability of purchasing one?
