I've been shooting film using a Spinner 360 (lomography). It's a camera that spins to take 360 degree pictures using 35mm film. The film is only developed to a negative and is uncut. The reason for this is the film size is longer then standard pictures and cannot be printed when developed.
Another interesting thing about the film is that its desirable leave the small rectangles on the top and bottom of the film negative. From there I cut the negatives to the full view (360). When I scan the negatives I need a scanner that can scan the entire 35mm negative surface (dedicated 35mm scanners will not work for this use). The images turn out really interesting and you can check out lomography.com to see some samples if this sounds interesting to you.
So I need help/advice/opinion on the following:
1. A flatbed scanner that does a great job scanning 35mm film ( I don't need special holders as I need the entire negative scanned)
2. The software that comes with the scanner is equally important but I would consider a stand alone software if there is something better out there.
One more thing there is a scanning plate out there that holds negatives (without cutting anything off) to be used on flatbed scanners however I haven't been able to figure out if it let's light through for back lit scanners or not.
Any help would be extremely appreciated!
Thank you,
Chris
