I passed my film scanner on to my son, so I no longer have that capability. The old Epson 2450 is great as a print scanner, document copier, etc., so I plan to keep it around, and it would be nice to occasionally scan a negative. I will try to find out the native resolution. That is a helpful suggestion. Ken R., well he always has an opinion................
