Getting it working under Linux was a little bit of a roller-coaster ride. So I went looking for a medium format scanner and finally settled on the Epson Perfection 4490 which was well rated by a number of photographic magazines, and a snip at only $200 – a small fraction the price of the dedicated Nikon film scanner when I bought it back in London. This was all well and good, but I’ve got and ever increasing number of medium format negatives & slides taken with my Zero Image 2000 pinhole camera which won’t fit in the Nikon. If you’ve got a scanner which isn’t supported by Sane, then its worth checking it out. VueScan is the first piece of commercial software I’ve bought in years, and I can say it is well worth the $80 for their professional edition which provides lifetime upgrades. While it is not supported by the open source Sane software, the cross-platform VueScan software does a fanatastic job of driving it, even including support for the ICE (infrared) cleaning.
