Can you recommend a used negative scanner?

Question

I am hoping to pick up a good one for a cheap price on Ebay but don't know what to look for. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I have a Canon CanoScan D660U. It will scan any negative. It has a negative carrier attachment that sits on the glass under the cover.

It will scan color and B&W negs and even slides. I am very happy with it, it has software that even stores the scan in a file that you designate before the scan. You can also adjust the properties of the scan after the pre-scan and before the actual scan.

If I was going to get another scanner, it would be the latest model of this one. Mine is about 3 years old and still going strong.

I used to be a drag racing photographer and I have thousands of negs and slides that I am in the process of saving to CD's.

Good luck in your search.
