Cost me $350 and you can pay alot more than that if you want to. PP	Percy Porter (531)

Flatbeds either use a reflector to get light through the film, or (better and more expensive) have a second light unit which replaces the cover. The standard will be acceptable for home use. You should be able to get a demonstration ... take a strip of film with you, and see what it looks like on their screen. :D	Graham L (2)

Mine has a light in the lid and a frame for negs and slides, if it is a discontinued model then you may be able to pick one up a bit cheaper. PP	Percy Porter (531)
