Negative Scanner

I desperately need a negative scanner to use to promote my work. I plan on using it to scan images for a self published book I am working on, to scan negatives for gallery submissions and to scan images for my website.

I have been putting off this purchase for a long time because of the costs involved but I think the time is now. I recently sold a print to a collector so I could use that money and add the rest myself to purchase this item. The cost is $600 plus tax, a bit steep but if it can help get the work shown, it will be worth it.

Been looking at the Epson V700, will go check it out at a local photo shop the next time I am off work.
