I use my Epson Perfection 3200 and my Minolta Dimage Scan Dual II with Vuescan effectively with Windows 10. Download a sample of Vuescan and give it a try. If you like the results of your 2400, you will not have to bet a new scanner. I have just purchased a bellows and lens system with a film holder and have given it a preliminary trial. Looks good, and when I have time I will try a bunch more. It should give much higher resolution digital files and much faster than any scanner. I'll keep you posted.

I am trying to scan old negs as a prelude to doing some film work. I had - and used to use successfully - an EPSON Perfection 2400. However not having used it for several years it failed to work properly when I tried it under W10, so I am looking round for a new scanner to handle B&W 35mm film. Anyone any suggestions? Criteria: High quality and high resolution; able to handle strips as well as rolls; accurate; must produce TIFFs as well as other formats such as JPEGs; good tools desirable but not absolutely necessary given the present state of PS etc. Thanks in advance, Peter -- =========================================================== Dr Peter Dzwig
