Harry, I have a Epson 4180 and it really does a nice job on negatives and slides. It wasn't the most expensive scanner out there, but I have been please with...
The new Epson 4990 Pro is probably the best affordable scanner for B&W negs. It was just released last month and is a brand new model, list price is $600 and...

Yes, I agree - you would be surprised at how much can be recovered from a seemingly useless dguerrotype using a good scanner and photoshop. Paul R....
