We are using a Microtek 9800XL with transparency media adapter. The glass plate negatives I have done on it have turned out beautifully.

Our museum has a huge collection of film negatives, from 35 mm to large format. We currently use traditional darkroom methods to reproduce photos from negatives, and while we don’t have any plans to discontinue the art of darkroom work, we do want to stick our big toe in the digital pond. So I’m on a fact-finding mission. I would like to hear from anyone who uses film scanners to reproduce a photograph directly from the negative: what type/brand of scanner you use, what your experiences are with it, etc. Thanks in advance for your insight.
