HI, Jawed!

My jaw'd (sorry! ;-) ) hit the keyboard if it weren't attached so firmly to
my face!

I am very impressed with what I saw in that review!   I suppose that if I
were going to be REALLY professional, I'd still want a dedicated film
scanner, but evidently, this flatbed competes very favorably with any
filmscanner within even a few multiples of it's price range!

I think the reviews at that site make the Epson flatbeds look a bit better
than they are.

It looks to me that the Epson is noticeably shy of 2700 dpi. That's pretty
good, but for 35mm, you'd probably be better off with a real scanner.
