I'm in the market for a high quality slide and negative (film) scanner that will work on Linux. I do not want any flatbed type scanners. It should be a high quality dedicated slide and negative scanner. An example of one is Plustek 7400 but this does not work on Linux.
My other option is to find a slide / negative holder that will fit to a macro lens (Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 macro with 52mm front thread) with the proper distance for the 1.6:1 focus (since it is reducing full frame film down to APS-C format sensor in the 450D I have). A tri-color LED light source would be a nice addition.
