HP Scanjet G4050

Hp Scanjet G4050 Photo Flatbed Scanner
What you would expect from a flatbed scanner for speed and quality at this price . I got it because it scans 4x5 negatives and I have a collection from WWII that I want to digitize .
Pros:
- Price
- large format film
- lid stays up
Cons:
- Supplied software is marginal at best
- I use Vuescan which does a much better job

good quality scanner
The Negatives to computer prints are washed out on some. may be the negatives. the photo scans are excellent. It's not a speedy scanner, but I was looking for quality and it has excellent quality scanning old photos.
