AZ,

I thought 35mm film are of same width. Some pano frames may be longer than
others. But
you can always scan in sections and put them together.  A little bit of
extra work with
in-expensive 35mm scanners can give you quality that can only be matched by
scanners 
more expensive than an Imacon.

I have many scans done by Imacon Flextight II, Duoscan T2500. Compared to my
own scans
by my Artix 4000t, Imacon scans did not always look better. When I send one
of my slides 
of the Sydney Olympic Stadium to a lab to be drum scanned, the operator put
it on an
Imacon. The quick Imacon scan came back worse than my own Artix scan.
Shadows of the 
stadium could only be resolved by a drum.

ZX,
Which 35mm film scanners can handle film longer than 6" or wider than 28mm?
