film scanners for linux?

Monday September 22, 2008 at 01:17AM

Hi:

Does anyone have some good suggestions for medium format film (negative) usb scanners?

I'll use either a mac or linux machine, but the linux machine is more convenient. It seems the commercial program vuescan www.hamrick.com will interface with most scanners. I don't object to this but would prefer an open source interface. So, if you know of a good medium format film scanner scanner, great, since vuescan probably works with it, but if you know of one that definitely works with linux that's even better.

TIA, David

Vuescan says it supports the Epson Perfection 4490 / GT-X750. As long as it is a usb scanner, I think Vuescan claims its software will interface with that scanner.

I forgot to say, in addition, I don't want to spend a lot of money:-)

Thank you for telling me that! Did you try it with vuescan? The page
www.hamrick.com/vuescan/vuescan.htm#epson
has the Epson scanner "Perfection 3490 / GT-F520" listed.
