Hi

I use an Olympus Es-10 Film scanner. It s very good for colour prints,
reasonable for colour slides, but I find it very bad for black and white
negs. I don't know how other scanners work on B&W but I would like something
which begins to cope with the contrast range. If you want to see what it
does on color look at my web site. It is cheap, and I just got my sample for
a music CD where I sent the band scans and they used them for the insert and
it is very good, but they were off color print. I would like feedback on how
other scanners handle B&W.
