   Mmm. I needed to get a scanner for 120 negative scanning. Only Epson do   
   that well at a sane (sic!) price.   
      
   Epson make some crude scanning software for linux that is good enough to   
   get an imafe and that's enough for me   
      
   Cheap USB  scanners mostly 'just worked' with sane etc.
