Hi Rod,

It depends on your needs.

I have two scanners - one is a 'cheap and cheery' portable *Canon LIDE220* - which only does flatbed reflective (up to A4) and does it very well.

The one I have at home is an*EPSON V700 - current model is V800* - not cheap!  It does flatbed reflective and transparencies up to A4.  I bought mine when Ian Brady gave me a large number of 6cm x 9cm negs ("120 size") and I found that my old Canon scanner would not handle negs bigger than 6cm x 6cm.

To see what you can get with a good neg and this scanner see: https://tdu.to/i/43060 and https://tdu.to/i/59829

I also use the scanning software VueScan - it's much better than the software that comes with the scanner.  I first bought it on Bob Merchant's recommendation and am glad that I did.  See: https://www.hamrick.com/ ... and if you like it,  buy the Professional Edition!
