the Epson Perfection 2450 Scanner   Using a fixed diffused light source for transparency scans, the Epson 2450 resembles an enlarger with a cold light, rather than one with a point source or condenser light system. The scans confirm this observation, providing smooth tonality, differentiating tonal values at both ends of the density spectrum. 35mm Kodak Technical Pan Film, Epson 2450 Scanned at 2400 samples per inch, Placed directly on the scanner glass, emulsion side down with a piece of anti-newton glass on top.
