We have a cheapo tevion - 4800x9600 on a windog box and a earlier
version 2400x3200 that you can play with under my desk.

Both come with neg heads but we have never tried either neg head.

I think I paid ~30ukp a few years ago for the scanner we use
and probably a similar amount for the earlier version.
