[HUG] Re: OT: Epson flatbed scanners

I have one of these. I think it's the EPSON 4490.  I
can look if it makes a difference.  I have had no
damage to my 6x6 negs using the film holder.  And, the
scanner seems quite adequate for web use.  I bought it
refurb'd on the Epson site for around $150 if I
remember right.
