We have a Microtek ArtixScan 1100 and it too has dual platform
beds for photos or negatives. The negative bed does not have a glass plate
between the film and the lens, so there are no Newton Rings.
I selected this one because it is mid-range in price (around
$1300) and can handle any size negative or print and do batch scanning. I am
happy with the quality, but it is slow.
