Epson Perfection 4490 Photo Scanner
After scanning through reviews for the right scanner for me, I finally purchased the Epson Perfection 4490 Photo about six months ago. I use it frequently to scan both 35mm format and medium format. I absolutely love the quality it gives. I scan usually at 1200 dpi in professional mode which takes a bit of extra time but it does not feel unbearably slow. It took me some time to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, scanning is a breeze and even enjoyable. Digital Ice Technology is amazing when your film has scratches or dust from the lens on it. Also, I love the post-processing capability for simple things like contrast, hue, and brightness which saves me steps in Photoshop. This scanner is great for those who would like to experiment in film. Sometimes I will get film developed only for cheap at a local drugstore and then just scan them in, saving me money on having to buy a cd or prints each time.
