Actually, although not a great scanner, but popular, the old HP S-20 would probably do any of the photos and negatives up to 5 X 7" or about 13 X 18 CM I doubt you'll find a flat bed that will do a good job of scanning the negatives of odd sizes. Mine has a film holder and that is size specific. I'd do a search on scanners to see what is available. http://www.nextag.com/ would be a starting place to list all scanners then do a search on the specific scanners to find one with the characteristics you want. Another approach would be to contact one of the big retailers such as B&H, or one of the big retailers on your side of the pond, and tell them what you are after. http://www.photosites.co.uk/projectors.shtml in the UK A google search on scanners film and print, returns over 1.5 million results so there is a lot of material out there.
