I am in the process of buying scanning equipment to convert our Television
Production Photographs into a digital archive. We have many different film
formats to consider but the 2 1/4" negatives (mainly from the 50,s and 60's)
are a major concern.  Is it true that they would have to be mounted, I
presume like slides, before scanning with a slide-negative scanner?  This is
what we have been told by a vendor, or should we be using a flatbed scanner?
 Most of the negatives are in strips of 2 - I really don't want to cut them.
 Any advice would be appreciated.
