Digital BW, The Print

I have an Epson 3200 scanner and find that for doing 6x6 B&W negatives it  
is perfectly adequate. So 6x7 should be even better. I have done several  
scans that I have printed to A3 equivalent size and they have turned out  
great. For 35mm negatives, however, the 3200 just isn't really  
satisfactory. I have an old Cannon FS-4000 that I use for those. The 3200  
is not a current product so if you can find a used one it would work and  
probably wouldn't cost a fortune. The newer models of Epson scanners would  
be better but more costly. Epson doesn't have a Windows 7 64 bit driver  
for the 3200 so I would definitely recommend Vuescan. Actually, I would  
recommend Vuescan for any system. It gives good results and has a  
consistant interface no matter what scanner you use.
